She was born in Paw Paw, MI and made her way out to Pasadena, CA where she rode the waves and swam with dolphins in the ocean. She was a force to reckon with.

She loved all her kids with her whole heart. She had a heart of gold. She will be missed.
Remaining to cherish her memory are her mother, Patricia Bowman; four children, Kimberly Lambright, Stephen J. (Amanda Swegles) Lambright, Autumn Riddell, and Piper Riddell; grandchildren, Elizabeth, Carsynn, Damien, and Madison; brother, Kelly Peters; sister, Mary Peters; and stepsisters, Ashley Peters and Jennifer Parks.

I’m so sorry for loss I didn’t know your Mom but I feel your pain because I lost both my Mom and Dad and I miss them every day so I pray that God blesses you every day
You will be missed, Jenae. From the moment Autumn and I became friends, you welcomed me into your home with open arms, I even called you mom. It didn’t matter if it was the middle of the night you were always there. Thank you for being a second mom to me and always being a light in the darkness. I’ll always remember I stayed over the night before my birthday and in the morning she made eggo French toast waffles, it was snowing outside, we put on Scooby doo and just hung out. Thank you again for everything. You will be very missed.
I just wanted to share a little memory of her. Autumn and I were always hanging out in the living room with her watching movies, laughing, just being together. We would always give her a hard time about taking us to the store, and she’d shake her head but still smile and go anyway. Those simple moments meant a lot, and they’re something I’ll always carry with me. She made everyday things feel warm and easy, and I’ll never forget that.
Sending love and strength to you and your family.
This is so kind Morgan. Thank you for this. She loved her movies and especially when we would chime in. She always would ask me how you and your mom are doing as well. Thank you for thinking of us during this time.❤️
