CASNER, Jennifer Cook Passed away peacefully Thursday, December 10 at Beverly Hospital with her loved ones by her side. Born Jennifer Lynn Cook in 1965 in Baltimore, MD, she was the devoted wife of Richard Dana Casner and beloved mother of Alexis Cook Gulino and Talia Austin Gulino. As the proud owner of Trappings in Wellesley and most recently Tusk Monogram Collection on Newbury Street, Jennifer was known for her exquisite style in women's clothing and her passion for monogramming. During the summer, she loved sailing around Buzzards Bay with her husband or spending time with her family and friends on the beaches of Nonquitt, MA. Always thoughtful, energetic, and resilient, she was known for her immense pride in her girls' academic achievements at Georgetown University and College of Charleston, as well as their field hockey, squash and tennis successes. Since her marriage to Richard in 2001, the two formed an extended family and moved to Dedham to raise their five children. As a child, she was often found on the tennis courts and was ranked as a teenage player in the state of Maryland. She attended Calvert School, The Bryn Mawr School in Baltimore, and Hollins College of Roanoke, VA.
Jennifer is survived by Richard, her husband of 15 years and by her daughters, Alexis and Talia, as well as her stepchildren, Richard (Charlie) of Orlando, FL, Liza of S. Portland, ME and Charlotte of Burlington, VT. She leaves her parents, Sackett S. Cook, Phyllis Feffer, and stepmother Mary Cook.
A Memorial Service will be held in Jennifer's honor Wednesday, December 16 at 2 p.m. at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 59 Court St., DEDHAM. Relatives and friends kindly invited. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Conservation International by visiting www.conservation.org.
