Jennifer Khokhar

Jennifer Younis Khokhar was born Jennifer Riffat Aziz to Aziz and Jane Bashir Din on December 3, 1953 in Karachi, Pakistan. Jennifer, lovingly known to her family and closest friends as Dolly, went to her eternal rest peacefully on September 13, 2023. She was surrounded by the love of her family and friends, was at peace with the knowledge that her time here had come to an end and she yearned to be with her Savior. She fought with grace and dignity through severe illness for years and remained steadfast in her faith. She was a mountain of a spirit, but didn’t want people making a fuss about her. She was the light in every room. Known by many and loved by all, she was an epic cook, a straight shooter, and had a joyful sense of humor. She was kind and ferociously loyal. Jennifer earned her Bachelor's degree at the University of Karachi where she met her soulmate and the love of her life, Younis Khokhar. They were married November 4th, 1977 at St. Andrew's church in Karachi, Pakistan. Jennifer was an educator for many years. While her husband is a lifelong teacher of the word of God, Jennifer chose a quieter way to testify. She lived her life in obedience to God; her life was a living testimony of her faith. Her family was the center of her universe. She enjoyed watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy daily; crosswords and word games; reading; spending time with friends and family; listening, counseling and loving. She is preceded in death by her parents Aziz and Jane Bashir Din, her mother and father in law Barkat and Bhagan Khokhar, her brother in law Saleem Gulfam and her uncle Nazir Bashir. She is survived by her husband Younis Khokhar; siblings Mary Gulfam, Samuel (and Tona) Bashir, Nancy (and Joseph) Lobo; sisters and brothers-in-law, children Jeremiah (and Katie) Khokhar, Sarah (and Nathan) Keedy, Luke Khokhar; grandchildren Jaden, Ella, Noah, Benjamin, Jacob; uncle Majeed (and Safia) Bashir; nieces and many cousins. Her love was deep and abiding. Jennifer will be laid to her final rest on Saturday, September 23rd at Highland Cemetery at 11 AM followed by a Celebration of Life at Christ Covenant Presbyterian Church at 1 PM. Family visitation will be 9:30 to 10:30 AM at Rose Funeral & Cremation - Mann on the same day. Her service will be officiated by her pastor Seth Hammond. She will be deeply missed and loved forever.
