The incident occurred during a night out with her husband in Uberlândia, Brazil, where an intense storm unleashed 55mm of rain in just half an hour.
Stranded on a flooded street, the couple sought refuge in their car.
However, their vehicle was hit by another car, forcing them to exit into the surging waters.
Disturbing footage from the scene shows the couple standing in waist-high floodwater and later clinging to their car as a bystander attempted to assist with a ladder.
Despite these efforts, the torrent proved too strong. Jeniffer was swept away and dragged nearly 300 meters down the street.
Her husband, Wallion Lima, found her unconscious and desperately tried to save her with help from firefighters.
Tragically, she was pronounced dead at around 1:25 a.m. The official cause of death was drowning and multiple trauma.
Jeniffer, who shared content about fashion, lifestyle, and beauty, was widely admired for her vibrant personality.
Friends and family described her as a “ray of light” who could uplift any occasion with her joy and warmth.
Her funeral was held at Bom Pastor Cemetery in Uberlândia on the same day as her passing, November 24.
Local officials expressed their condolences, with Mayor Odelmo Leão offering support to her loved ones and acknowledging the destructive impact of the storm on the community.
Jeniffer’s untimely death serves as a somber reminder of the devastating power of nature and the fragility of life.
