Jennifer Lynn Mease

Jennifer Lynn Holdren Mease, 56, of Lebanon, lived every moment with grace and love, and on January 26th, surrounded by her family, she breathed her last. Jennifer was born on August 26, 1964, and lived in Moscow, PA until she moved to Lebanon when she was 20 years old. Jennifer is the daughter of Margaret and Leroy Benjamin (Moscow, PA/The Villages, FL) and Robert and Grace Holdren (Virginia Beach, VA). Jennifer attended school at the North Pocono School District, where she graduated in 1982. She then attended Lackawanna Junior College and University of Scranton, where she graduated with a degree in elementary education. She then went on to become certified in special education and ultimately worked for Intermediate Unit 13 as a teacher in their sub-separate classroom for multiply disabled children. Jennifer was dearly valued as a teacher in this position and cared for her children with great love and respect. On September 23, 1995, Jennifer married the love of her life, Rick Mease, and the two celebrated their 25th anniversary this past year. In addition to her husband and parents, Jennifer is survived by her twin sons Bryan Holdren and Brent Holdren husband of Michelle; granddaughters Willow and Bria Holdren (Lebanon); sister Julia Holdren (Boston); nephew Trevor Robinson (Seattle, WA); brother Christian Benjamin husband of Debbie and their daughter Samantha (Scranton); and cousin/second sister Linda Nace (Lebanon) who helped her through the many challenges of cancer treatment. Linda and her daughters Brianna, Megan and Tiffany spent countless hours together having fun in the pool, camping, and playing games. Jennifer is also survived by many dearly loved aunts, uncles, cousins, brothers and sisters-in-law (North Carolina). Jennifer was preceded in death by her in-laws Mr. and Mrs. Donald Mease, brother-in-law Donald Mease, Jr., her grandparents, and great grandparents.
