Jen M. Demperio

Jennifer (Jen) M. Demperio, 44, of Westvale, NY, a beloved mother, daughter, sister, and friend, sadly passed away on Thursday, January 9, 2025 at Upstate University Hospital. Born in Marcellus, NY, she was the cherished daughter of Deborah Demperio and a devoted mother to her beloved daughter, Alexandria Ruzekowicz.

Jen's life was a testament to creativity, kindness, and unwavering love for her family and friends. As an artist at heart, she found joy in painting on canvases, the walls of her clients' homes, and the pages of her notebooks. She had a remarkable talent for transforming spaces, crafting unique creations, and renovating rooms. Her vibrant personality was a constant presence around the family dinner table, where she brought laughter, shared heartfelt stories, and made everyone feel at home. In addition to spending time indoors, she loved taking walks with her brothers and niece. Most of all, she treasured sitting around the campfire with her grandpa and family by her side.

Jen was known for her warm heart, incredible strength, and deep love for her family. Her daughter, Alexandria, was the center of her world, and Jen took immense pride in being her mother. She cherished every moment watching Alexandria play soccer and made it a point never to miss a game whenever possible. Jen truly embodied the spirit of a dedicated soccer mom.

She is survived by her mother, Deborah Demperio; daughter, Alexandria Ruzekowicz; Nathan Ruzekowicz, who she loved like her son; grandmother, Camille “Terry” Demperio; five brothers, Derek (Brittnee) Demperio, Jason (Rosa) Klink, Michael (Sarah) Demperio, James (Amy) Burnham, Edward Dumas; five nieces, Myah Burnham, Audrey Seymour, Willow Demperio, Rozalynne Dumas, Lillie Demperio; two nephews, Jack Demperio, Ryan Demperio; ex-husband, David Moose; 13 beloved cats along with many extended family members and friends who will forever hold her in their hearts.
