On the morning of August 31st, we unexpectedly lost Janessa, just days before her 37th birthday. She has left behind two incredible daughters that she loved and cherished. She was so proud of the girls and was always their biggest cheerleader. Her cheers and celebratory dances could be witnessed at every event.

She was loved by many and known for her compassion towards people and animals in need. Janessa often cared for stray animals and aided many over the last few years. On multiple occasions, Janessa stopped to offer a hand to hold, and a comforting word, to people in car accidents while waiting for first responders to arrive. Janessa never passed someone asking for money without offering the cash she had in her wallet. She gave without expectation of anything in return. Janessa will be greatly missed.

With her unexpected passing, we were not prepared for the funeral expenses. Any donations made will go directly to Janessa’s funeral and burial. Any money leftover will go towards the girls future education expenses.
