JENNIFER MAZER

Dr. Jennifer Beth Mazer, 50, died unexpectedly on February 1, 2022, in Greensboro, North Carolina, after suffering an aortic dissection. She was welcomed into Heaven by her father, Charles. Beth was born on December 31, 1971, in Lubbock but from age 8 months was raised in Texarkana. She attended Texas High, completed a BS in biology at Austin College, and went to medical school at UT Health Science Center at San Antonio. Born with Turner syndrome, a chromosomal condition, she saw pediatric specialists her entire childhood and aspired to help other kids by becoming a pediatrician herself. She lovingly cared for patients in Palestine, Nacogdoches, and San Antonio before moving her talents and her family to Greensboro in May 2019. Beth loved to travel and to sing. She was fluent in Spanish. She was a terrible cook but usually happy to help with the dishes. She appreciated the simple things in life: a game of Uno, a neighborhood walk, a bowl of Blue Bell ice cream, cuddles on the couch with her kids and her cats. She had a loud and infectious laugh; once she started, you just had to join in. She was a faithful Methodist and prayed for anyone with any burden. Beth is survived by her husband, Jerry Hooper, and her children, Kayden (11), Katie (11), and Gracie (8) Hooper; her mother, Barbara Hampton; and her sister and family, Sarah, Richard, Eli, and Abram Zink, all of North Carolina. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, February 12, at 11 a.m. at Mt. Pisgah United Methodist Church, Greensboro, NC. For streaming information, email [email protected].
