Jessica died on Thursday, June 11, 2020, in California after suffering a cardiac arrest and related complications connected with a long-term illness. Jessica was an organ donor and, in her death, that personal commitment led to a better life for others.

Jessica was in the dissertation stage for a PhD in counseling psychology through Andrews University, after also having completed her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2005 and a master’s in community counseling in 2008 at Andrews. During her undergraduate years Jessica served as a dedicated student leader of the University’s Benton Harbor Street Ministries and also spent time working with the 1,000 Missionary Movement in Africa.

Jessica’s father Ron, who retired as the welding foreman at Plant Services, and her mother Laura live in Coloma, Michigan. Jessica has three siblings including her sister Sarah, who graduated from Andrews last May.
