Jennifer L. “Jen” Barker-Betts, age 47, of Dubuque, Iowa, passed away unexpectedly at her home on Tuesday, March 23, 2021. To celebrate Jen’s life, family and friends may visit from 3:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m., on Tuesday, March 30, 2021, at Behr Funeral Home, 1491 Main Street.

To honor Jen’s life, funeral services will be held immediately following the visitation at 6:00 p.m., on Tuesday at Behr Funeral Home, with Pastor Kristian Kincaid officiating. Burial will be in Mt. Calvary Cemetery.

Jen was born on August 3, 1973, in Dubuque, Iowa, daughter of Richard and Monica (Juno) Barker.

Jen graduated from Dubuque Senior High School. She was employed with several places throughout the years including Tri-State Golf Center, Bodine’s, Spectrum Counter Tops and Bunker Hill. In her free time, Jen liked shooting pool, bowling, trying her luck at the casino, or just sitting pool side enjoying a beautiful day. Jen was brought up at the race track with her dad, and was an avid racing fan. She also looked forward to hitting the open road on the Harley, or in the car, for a scenic day trip. Jen was a social butterfly and loved to connect with new people in person and through Facebook. Jen’s first priority was her beautiful daughter Brianna, who was truly her pride and joy. We are heartbroken at losing Jen in our daily lives, and she will be missed more than words can possibly express.
