Obituary of Jessica Ann Gardner

With heavy hearts, we share the news of the passing of Jessica Gardner, who left us far too soon at the age of 39. She departed from us on March 23, 2024, to join many loved ones in heaven. 

Born on November 23, 1984, Jessica lived a life filled with simple pleasures and deep connections. She had a green thumb that could bring even the most sickly plants back to life, finding joy in nurturing life and watching her garden bloom with beauty.

One of her greatest joys was spending time with her niece, Zoe, sharing laughter-filled moments and creative adventures. Whether they were coloring together or Zoe was opening the latest gift Jessica found her, they had fun together. 

Jessica found fulfillment in her work as a waitress, where she poured her heart into taking care of her customers. Her warm smile and caring nature made everyone feel welcome and loved.

Her passing has left a void in our lives, but we find comfort in the memories we shared with her. Jessica will be deeply missed by her family and friends, but her spirit will live on in the love she shared with us all.

Jessica is pre-deceased by her late father, R. David Gardner, and survived by her Mother, Cheryl Gardner, sister, Christa Lechtner, brother-in-law Sam Lechtner, and niece, Zoe Lechtner. She is also survived by many loving cousins, aunts, uncles, and other family, as well as a community of friends and acquaintances who were touched by her kindness.

As we remember her, let's cherish the moments we had with Jessica and carry forward the love and joy she brought into our lives.

Rest easy, dear Jessica, surrounded by the beauty of the gardens you tended and the love that you inspired.
