Jennifer Lynn Scammell

SCAMMELL GERMANTON Jennifer Lynn Scammell, 39, passed away unexpectedly Sunday night, August 24, 2025, at her home. Jennifer was born on October 7, 1985, in Forsyth County to Evonne Ravndal Butner and Michael Lynn Scammell. She was a member at New Birth Baptist Church. Jennifer loved the outdoors, especially hiking, camping, as well as swimming, boating, and fishing in the lake behind her house. She also loved all kinds of art and always was working on a project. Jennifer liked to travel to the beach as well as the mountains. She loved all animals, and her dogs in particular. Jennifer always wanted to be a veterinarian. She also aspired to be a singer, actress, dancer, you name it. She was a loving friend and was always willing to give her last dollar anyone that needed it, often at her own detriment. Jennifer took everyone in like they were her stray puppy. She loved her family with passion and had a love for Christ and His finished work on The Cross at Calvary to make the Way to Father God. Though Jennifer had struggles here in life, she would want for us all to slow down and love and care for each other like Christ who went after those everyone thought as lost. Jennifer was preceded in death by her father, Michael Lynn Scammell; step-father, Michael Butner, Sr.; paternal grandparents, Jack Scammell (Mabel); Martha Joines (Ray); and her maternal grandparents, Harvey Ravndal (Arlene) and Evonne Ravndal (Frank).
