Jessica was also a cherished aunt to her many nieces and nephews, who adored her for her accepting love. She was always there to offer a listening ear, a hug, or just to offer a craft of some kind to keep them busy.

Jessica was a dedicated academic whose intelligence was founded in persistence. She graduated from Central High School in Grand Junction, Colorado in 2002. She completed several professional certificates and eventually moved on to work on her bachelor’s degree in early childhood education from Brigham Young University - Idaho.
