The joys of her life were her children, Owen and Tracey. She loved being a mom and being a kid with the kids. She was always taking them on fun excursions and their life was full of adventure. Her motto for life was "Live, Laugh, Love". Jessica loved her family, her friends, and her God. She found joy in football (Chiefs and K-State) and watching Owen play baseball. Other passions include tending her plants and flowers, Kenny Chesney music and concerts, and reality TV. She made everyone she knew a better person and never met a stranger.
