Jennifer Leigh Carmignani passed away June 7, 2026. Jennifer was born June 14, 1973 to Joe and Jackie Ori in Riverside, California. She was proceeded by her father Joe Ori, and her father in-law and mother in-law Mike and Carol Carmignani. She is survived by her husband James Carmignani and daughters Isabella Lopez, her husband Chase Lopez, and Sophie Carmignani, along with her mother Jackie Ori, Bryan and her Sister Sandy Williams, and Diana Ori, as well as Dusty and Gina Swan. Along with nieces and nephews Derik Ori, Kiona and Trea Williams, Emma Ori, and Rylan, and Eden Swan.
Jennifer grew up in Price, Utah with her Sisters as well as many Aunts, Uncles and cousins. Jennifer was a devout Jehovah’s Wittiness her whole life. She married her husband James Carmignani in February 5, 1994 and moved to Orem, Utah where they raised their two beautiful and loving daughters Isabella and Sophie.
Jennifer was a very genuine and caring person. She loved her family her friends and deep meaningful conversations, so much so that while traveling to Logan to see family with her husband they didn’t realize they passed their exit on I-15 until they saw the sign that said welcome to Idaho. You never had to guess what she was thinking because she always told you, Jennifer was an open book, which is why she drew so many people to her and so many would open up to her. She always had a listening ear. She loved music, and going to concerts, and once she loved a group she would tell you all about their songs and the meaning behind their lyrics. When she loved you she would never let you go, and if years had passed since she had seen you she would pick up where you left off like you were there yesterday.
Jennifer had a very emphatic heart as well, she was always concerned for people and was quick to see their pain. It wasn’t uncommon to see her talking to someone she didn’t know listening to them pour their heart to her, even sharing a hotdog and soda with a un-housed person she saw on the street in New York City.
We are deeply saddened at our loss. Jennifer was wonderful friend, wife, and a loving Mom. She touched the hearts of many.
