Sherrin Richards We worked with Jen in Milton Keynes, England to launch our company’s UK and European divisions. Rest easy Jen. So happy you found love, had kids and a wonderful career. May memories of you comfort your loved ones. ♥️
John D’Antonio One of many fun adventures with our A+E family
Travis Kahn Our night at the ice hotel. Jen was always up for adventure, but she hated the cold. Needless to say, she was happiest in the warmth of her sleeping bag after some time in the sauna.
Travis Kahn This is a special moment from one of our trips to California. It was a perfect sunset, and I knew the moment I took this picture that I’d remember it for a long time. So often when I think of our best days together I think of this image, and this place.

Travis Kahn We took the train down to DC...Riley was beyond thrilled...and had such a great time. It was only a weekend, but somehow we managed to see so much of the city and had fantastic meals. Jen always tried to avoid being in pictures, so I always cherished the ones she was willing to pose for. They are classics...the rest were snapped whenever she wasn’t looking.
Jennifer Rideout I first met Jen when she came to Toronto for the film festival with her A&E colleagues. Year after year we would sit for a pic at this same table. Jen always had the biggest smile. Immediately, I knew she was a force. I can see that same spunk in Macy in the pictures being posted here. In business, I will remember her as a smart, focussed, confident, engaging and results-driven executive. But it is Jen the person I think of most. Her unique blend of authentic and sincere, sharp and very witty sense of humor with a smile that would fill a room. Oh, and of course a spark that energized those around her. Interested in the lives of her friends and ready to lend support where she saw a need. But what she cared about most – Macy and Riley. She had so much love for them that they will be filled with their Mom’s love forever. In these last few months a courageous Mom is what stands out. Fighting every minute like a warrior to be there for her kids, welcoming the strength of friends who cheered for her along her journey. A warm person and a good soul. I will miss her.
John D’Antonio Beach day - no one loved the beach more than Jen
Tracey Bedell From the “OMG please delete” files..... always up for fun!!
sara hinzman Jen and I had many adventures and misadventures. After hearing from David Zagin about this experience, we decided to overpay for tickets and sit on stage and have dinner during the Broadway production of "Network". We watched Bryan Cranston chew on the scenery up close and personal, while we had a lovely meal and many cocktails. She was so much fun. We laughed and laughed. Her laughter was so infectious. Miss you friend.
Tracey Bedell My family and I were lucky enough to spend a week with Jen and the kids in Ocean City, NJ. These pics reminded me of the laughs and fun we had that week.

Jamie Foss Oh Jen. I miss your beautiful smile and caring heart. Your pure excitement to come meet Baby Alex Foss. I absolutely love this photo.
Katie Stanger Jen always put the kids first... even when she had to play Elefun for hours.
Cecilia Masola I picked Jen up from the hospital this day and couldn't believe she had just gotten treatment. As her smiling eyes show, she was upbeat and insisted on inviting me to lunch and margaritas. All the memories I have of her follow this common thread and include her infectious laugh, energetic spirit and quick-wit. Jen faced this disease and adversity in a way I will always admire, being stronger than ever for those around her. She will forever live in my memory as a superwoman and inspiration.
Jen was my downstairs neighbor, but turned into a very close friend. She was so kind, warm and helpful and taught her children to behave the same way. She comforted me in hard times, she walked my dog and played with him so many times when I was coming home later from work, she surprised me my decorating my apartment and bringing me food when I ga...
I am still in shock hearing about Jens passing. Nobody was more thoughtful, generous, caring and considerate than Jen. She remembered every little thing you told her about your life and would always ask and check in on you. I have fond memories of being neighbors with her in my first Hoboken apartment - dinners out at our favorite local spots as we...
sara hinzman Halloween 2020. She went home from the hospital the next day after being in the hospital for 3 weeks with her stem cell transplant. I thought she might like to be like Macy and have blue hair! Of course she did. Gorgeous smile. Gorgeous woman. To look at her, you would never know what she had endured, or that she was even sick. She always had a smile and such a great attitude. Her courage and feistiness are an inspiration to us all in facing difficult things. She poured herself out for her friends with such generosity of spirit. I am forever changed and grateful for the gift of Jen Bulvanoski.
sara hinzman Jen was the best mom. She loved Macy and Riley with a fierceness and devotion that spilled over into everything. Her joy in those children was evident in her beautiful smile.
John D’Antonio Finding words to describe what Jen means to me is hard. Meeting her altered the course of my life. She interviewed and hired me at Lifetime 13 years ago. We quickly developed a strong bond and she became one of my closest friends and confidants. We had a short hand all our own and were as thick as thieves! She not only taught me so much about the business, but also about the kind of adult I wanted to be. She was at the same time the most responsible, smart and pragmatic person and the warmest, most thoughtful and generous soul. A genuine combination that is so hard to come by. Every morning I would sit with her in her office and talk. We told each other everything. Over the years, we traveled together and became close with each other’s families. She was a guiding force and a North Star. And she was hilariously funny! Even in the darkest times, she would find light and help to spread it. I’ve never known anyone like her. When she became a mother, she shined even brighter. Her love for Macy and Riley is boundless. She was so proud of them - it was amazing to see her light up when she spoke about them, which was often. My friend, my mentor, my partner in crime, my sister. I love you and miss you beyond words.
Jen and I were brought together by our children; Connor and Macy. They were in pre-k together and not only would they speak of each other often, others would tell us. They have such a special friendship. Once Jen and I met, it was an instant connection. I’ll always remember her texting “I’m getting on the 7 train. Where are you in your commute?...

Katie Stanger We took the kids to the Great Adventure Safari Park... and Jen kept trying to roll her window down to entice a giraffe into the car. If memory serves, I had to put child lock on to keep her in line!
Katie Stanger Jennifer came into my life at the perfect time... she immediately became a guiding force in my life professionally and personally. She gave me quick roots in Hoboken, an aspiration of greathood in womanhood and parenthood, professional advice, and an immediate family of five. For the past year we have spent every holiday and milestone together. She welcomed Violet and me into her home and her heart unconditionally and without question. She became the person I called when I needed help, a laugh, or coffee pods when my Amazon delivery was late. We were instant soulmates and sisters and I am forever grateful that we squeezed so much love and friendship into the past year. Jennifer's heart for her family, friends, and especially Macy and Riley will forever be imprinted upon my soul. I am a better person for having known her and will miss her every single day.

Travis Kahn This was our last day together as a family, the weekend before she was originally scheduled for her transplant. She knew she was taking a risk by going, but she wanted to make sure we had one last time all together. We surprised the kids, who had always wanted to go to Great Adventure but figured it would wait until mom got better. I’m so grateful to her for giving them this memory...they would both tell you it was one of their best days.
Sivan Noy The last time I’ve spent time with Jen, just a few days before she went to the hospital in October. We spent the morning and part of the afternoon on her sunny balcony, chatting and laughing, having coffee, pastries and a little bit too much wine. She actually texted me this picture the night before, so I can pick my favorite. We had them both. She was so happy and relaxed , it was a perfect day.
Batya Feldman There aren’t many people who will reliably tell you if there’s food in your teeth or toilet paper stuck to your shoe. Even fewer people can direct your attention to the proverbial egg on your face in a way that is so totally disarming that you catch yourself almost *wanting* to do something embarrassing. Jen was one of those people. I had the dumb luck of being introduced to Jen 3 years ago, when I was a summer intern at A+E. She was an incredible cheerleader and confidante, whose wisdom and aplomb I will forever be trying to replicate. She combined kindness and incisiveness in a way that was truly masterful, and her wicked sense of humor and life-affirming presence enriched my life. We exchanged cards over the last several months, and the one in this photo is a favorite.
Jen and I were industry friends having covered the same territory for a few years. We lost touch after I moved on to an international start-up as I spent most of my time outside the country. It had been a solid 10 years that we hadn't spoken, when I suddenly ran into Jen at my office in early 2019. She immediately emailed me and asked if we could g...
Sarah Shriver Jen and I have known each other for years but we did not become close friends until we started working together. She was a loving, honest, supportive and thoughtful friend. Always checking in and sharing her love of life. A joy to spend time with. A master story teller with her sparkling eyes and great sense of humor especially when she talked about Macy and Riley. Jen will be missed by so many, but I am convinced that she would want us to celebrate and toast in her honor! Cheers to Jen!
I was lucky enough to meet Jen when our daughters were in class together. I knew the first time I met her that she was one of the warmest, most fun, and kindest people I would ever know. She was an amazing mom- she always did the fun stuff the rest of us say we will get to one day, and her house was always full of toys, art projects, food and lau...
This is totally unexpected and heartbreaking. I didn’t know she was even sick. I hadn’t spoken to Jen in a while, but she was always a dear, dear friend. Her personality was just so unique, a beautiful person in every way. What a beautiful family she had. My prayers are with them. So very sorry you are gone too soon my friend. Rest easy.
I ran into Jen one morning in Bryant Park. I was grabbing a coffee and I heard her voice shout my name - really loud! We had a good laugh and talked about life. It sticks with me because in the midst of an incredibly busy park, during rush hour, we ran into each other. We would not see each other for long periods of time, but when we did, we fell r...
Jen was one of my favorite colleagues at A+E . The more people I talk to, the more I realize she was everyone’s favorite. No matter how closely or indirectly they worked with her, people felt a connection to Jen and that is a testament to Jen. I am sure that Jen’s family and friends will not be surprised to hear that Jen was not only highly respect...

Michelle Strong Nearly 12 years working together. So many laughs, inside jokes, travel shenanigans, Mom hacks, kids birthday parties, fashion dos and dont’s, so so many sweet memories. I’m sure to miss you forever Jen.
Andrew Eddy It's not often in our professional lives that the people we intersect with become more than names on our contact lists. Jen was one of those rare individuals who was both a colleague and a friend. Not because she wasn't looking out for the best interests of her company, but because of the way she treated everyone with respect and carried her quiet confidence into every conversation. And that smile. A wonderful smile that lit up the room and left no doubt she was happy to see you. Whether is was on her business trips to Toronto, gathering to celebrate at TIFF or when we would meet in New York, I always looked forward to meeting with her. One lovely August afternoon in Bryant Park stands out in my mind. I had to make a last-minute trip to New York City and I ended up with a free afternoon. Out of the blue I called her, and an hour later we were across a table having coffee under the shade of a tree talking and laughing. It was one of those conversations where I couldn't tell you exactly what we talked about, but I remember feeling so delighted to have shared that time with such a wonderful person. I can also recall on another occasion her saying she had caught the early flight to Toronto and then planned to head home at the end of the day so she wouldn't have to be away from home any longer than necessary. It was clear that as much as she gave to everyone else, she was saving the best for her family. There are no words of comfort that I can possibly express, but I would add my thoughts to the chorus of voices that celebrate what a remarkable light she was. Andrew Eddy
Jennifer Baumann Jen was a beautiful, vibrant woman who I had the good fortune to work with and forge a friendship with. As stunning as she was, she was equally smart, funny, strong, and generous. Work had us travel to some amazing places together, and she always wanted to make the most of each trip. Once on an overnight to Calgary, she insisted we drive to Banff for dinner since we were so close to the famous park. So we did. In Hawaii we snorkeled, in Mexico we hit the beach with family. Jen was a seasoned traveler and made everything look easy by always being prepared, organized and confident, even when she lost a tooth upon take off on a long haul flight. If she couldn’t bring the kids with her, she was masterful at planning efficient trips to get home Macy and Riley as fast as possible. They were the lights of her life. She was a great mother. So fun, so patient and so loving. Will be missing the other Jen B. ❤️
Jen was SUCH a beautiful person inside and out. Her laugh was infectious, her heart was full and her smile the brightest in the room. She exuded life. That’s probably the best way to describe it. Which is why the thought of her in any other way is unimaginable. Which is why she will continue to live within the memory of every person she came i...
Jen-I am still finding it impossible to believe I’ll never here your “hiii” again. I’ve been replaying the numerous birthday videos, the “Jamie” videos of Riley when you first moved to Jefferson, and so many more. I never thought a birthday video could mean so much, but it’ll be my way of hearing your voice when I need you. You were the most fun-l...
Mario Verdicchio Jen would often tell me I always knew the right thing to say but I don't think that's possible this time. We met in 1997 at our first ‘grown up’ jobs out of college and became friends right away. Over those 24 years, I can only hope I did half as good a job of being there for her, as she did for me. Any day talking to her or seeing her was a GREAT day. I will cherish those memories always. Everything about her stood out in the best possible ways. What stood out most though was how great of a mother she was and the pure joy and happiness Macy and Riley brought her. Jen…I love you and there are no words that can come close to letting you know how much I will miss you. I was the lucky one. Rest in Peace. Mario
My dear Jen, words seem inadequate to express the sorrow I feel . You were the true example of a real friend and the best neighbor anyone could wish for. I miss your contagious laugh, your happy voice and your endless energy. Always helpful and always beyond generous to my family and me. I can still hear your steps in the hallways, your car le...
When I think about Jen, there are so many good times that come to memory. She was always a breath of fresh air. Each day that I would walk into the office, I had the good fortune of walking past Jen’s office to get to my office. And every day we would stop to chat about things, whether it was about business, the weekend, kids, etc. Jen was so c...
When I heard the news about Jen’s passing, I was devastated. I remember this smart, energetic woman who came in to my office to interview for an Account Manager position at Lifetime back in 2002. She proved to be an excellent hire. She was a fast learner, a hard worker and a team player. She quickly established strong relationships with her cli...
What an amazing soul! Jen was such an incredible person. We met years ago in the industry. I was trying to remember the exact moment when we met, but it eludes me probably because Jen was someone you meet and feel you’ve known for years. She lit up a room with her energy and vitality. We would go for months not seeing each other, but would meet f...
I don’t have a specific date except from the 1980’s but I’ll shoot for it. All i can think of are the days on woodruff place back when we were all little kids. We would play in Mrs. Grant’s yard on the swings with keith alicia and my brother. Or how Jennifer’s dad would always run across the street anytime we needed something fixed! How much fun li...
I was not only lucky enough to work with Jen for 10 years, we were pregnant together and shared so many amazing and challenging experiences that came with being first time moms to our daughters. And then two years later, second time moms to their baby brothers. Catching up with Jen on the antics of what happened between leaving work and arriving th...
Joanna DiMenna Jen, you were the most sincere, bright and energetic person I ever met. I will never forget the first day we met and riding the bus with you. All the way talking and just feeling so comfortable with you like we had known each other for years. Hours later while I was sitting at my desk you sent me perhaps the most kind and genuine email I have ever received. Telling me how much our chat had helped you and how much you appreciated me and did I want to hang out again. I honestly have to admit that at first I was taken aback by your kindness and openness. I came to know quickly that was who you were. You never left anything unsaid between friends and family. Always letting those you loved know it. I feel so lucky to have been brought into your orbit. I will strive in your honor to be as open and loving and never leave anything unsaid. The group of women that you surrounded yourself with has been a silver living for me through all this. You have the most amazing group of friends and it gives me such comfort to see how much they love you and your kids. Have no fear that they will fiercely love and protect your kids and keep your memory alive. I will always remember the warmth and love that I felt in your apartment. Short visits turned to hours and hours. You loved my kids so much and made sure they knew that. They felt welcome and safe with you as did I. My last memory of you is sitting on your porch drinking wine in the sunlight. I miss you so much my friend.
Rachel Mehaffie It's taken me a bit to bring myself to write something... I had the privilege of not only working with Jen, but of also calling her my friend. Always a listening ear, encouraging word or big smile. Even after our time working together, we covered a lot of the same territory. I loved getting to travel the US and Caribbean and seeing Jen along the way! The picture here is from our time in Bermuda. Oh how I loved our Caribbean trip stories :). Jen's memory will live in all of those stories, in seeing her amazing kids grow and seeing all of us come together and celebrate our dear friend.
