Jennifer L. Dise Obituary April 13, 2026 – Brown-Forward Funeral Service
Jennifer L. Dise (née Gale) passed away on Monday, April 13, 2026, surrounded by her loved ones. Jenn was energetic, fun-loving, and fearless—meeting life with an open heart and an adventurous spirit.
Jennifer came from an aviation-oriented family, which gave her early exposure to the close-knit aviation community. In 1999, she joined JetLease’s sales team and was soon promoted to an investment banking role, working with the financial complexities of corporate aircraft leasing. It was at JetLease where she met her husband, Russell Dise.
Outside of her professional life, Jenn embraced the outdoors and stayed in constant motion. An avid outdoorswoman, Jenn loved being on the water and in nature. In Florida, she spent countless hours deep-sea fishing off the coasts of Florida and the Bahamas—running the lines and reeling in wahoo, mahi-mahi, and blue marlin while Russ captained the boat.
After living in Juno Beach, Florida, for 25 years, she recently made a new home in Aurora, Ohio, where she adored her dogs and ducks. She raised several Jack Russell Terriers which she and Russ frequently referred to as Jack Russell “Terrorists.”
She also loved staying active and trying new things, from competitive equestrian jumping to tennis, golf, rollerblading, pickup hockey and just about any outdoor adventure. Her woodshop was the source of many beautiful projects.
Born in Middlefield, Ohio, Jenn lived in Chesterland and Beachwood before meeting her husband and moving to Pepper Pike.
Jenn is survived by her husband, Russell W. Dise; her parents: David and Carol Gale of Aurora; her brother and sister-in-law, Scott Gale and Jaime Gale of Aurora and cousins, nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
The family prefers that those who wish may make contributions in her name to the Addiction Recovery Services of University Hospitals: https://www.uhhospitals.org/services/addiction-services/addiction-recovery.
