Jennifer Paige Harelson

Jennifer Paige Harelson began her peaceful life with Jesus Christ February 3, 2025 

She was funny, passionate, kind and generous to a fault. Jennifer was fiercely loyal, fiercely independent, unnaturally intelligent and deeply insightful. She went out of her way to make others feel included, important and special. Jennifer was an avid reader and loved movies; pride and prejudice, being her favorite movie of all time. She was an incredible cook and loved feeding everyone with her impressive meals. 

Five years ago Jennifer found her place, her people, her true calling and her best friend and soulmate Sam, at Top Golf. Her work family was as important to her as her real family. She excelled at Top Golf and felt more at home there than anywhere else. Jennifer adored her nieces and nephew, and her sweet dog CoCo. 

She had a special bond with her Maw Maw Stellie, whom she said understood her without her speaking. Jennifer Paige was larger than life and too good for this flawed world. We know she will spend eternity bending the ears of Heaven with all of her Top Golf stories.

It gives all of us great peace to know she found her purpose, her people, true friendship, and true love before she left this world. 

She is preceded in death by her maternal grandfather, Kenny Cline; her paternal grandparents, Harrington “Hank” Harelson and Betty Kelly Harelson; her uncle, Kenny Wayne Cline; and her aunt, Genena Harelson.

Jennifer is survived by her parents, H Byrd Harelson and Kelly Cline Falgout; her stepfather, Ronnie Falgout; her sisters, Christine Pizzolato (Tad M. Pizzolato), Sydney Harelson, Ashley Jelich (Dixon Jelich), Allison Lay (Robert Lay), and Camille Falgout; her maternal grandmother, Margaret Estelle “Stellie” Cline; her paternal grandparents, Ronnie and Betty Falgout; her nieces and nephews, Sutton, Sophia, Anders, Mary Austin and Lucy; her most precious friend, Sam Gautreau; and her boyfriend, Ben Hosford.
