Jennifer Lynn Lotz (NEE: Salamun)
Jennifer Lynn Lotz (Salamun), age 45, passed away at her home in Fenton, Missouri, on May 6, 2020, with her family surrounding her in love.

Jennifer and Eric served the Lord together throughout their marriage, a total of thirteen years in Haiti and almost eight years in Joplin, Missouri. One of Jennifer’s greatest accomplishments was founding Pizza Amour in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and ministering through hospitality. Jennifer was a loving wife to Eric, a devoted mother to her children, a caring daughter, a loyal sister, a delightful aunt, a faithful friend, and an ever-growing disciple of her Lord, Jesus Christ.

So beautiful Eric, know that we are praying for you and your family.

I am thankful that I knew Jennifer–her giving of herself, her hospitality at Pizza Amour when we brought our family there and her kindness. I grieve with you as we no longer have Jennifer physically alive with us. My prayers and virtual hugs go out to all of you who like me were blessed to know Jennifer. Hugs, Sharon Segaar-King (former missionary in Haiti who served there during some of the same time as Jennifer).
Agreed…beautiful! Continued prayers for you all.
God bless you and your family.
Love you all so much, Eric! We are praying for you during this crushingly sad season…we know you are not alone and that our good God has each of you in His hands. Praying for comfort, peace and wisdom as you continue on…in Jesus’ name.
As a fellow teacher and Christ-lover, let me say what a beautiful written obituary. She would be honored by what you chose to say, as well as how it was worded. Sending love and much love from Kansas City, MO
Jennifer has left a lasting impression on my life. She is dearly missed.
My love and prayers are with you all!
