Lincoln, NE, to Calvin and Janet (Arrigo) Nilson. Her infectious spirit and thoughtful nature touched the lives of everyone she encountered.
Jessica was a dedicated therapist, who used her Master's degree in psychology to help those in need. Her love for people extended beyond her profession, as she actively donated to local charities and found joy in her hobbies, such as crafting and traveling. Jessica's greatest joy, however, came from her cherished role as a loving aunt.
She is survived by her father, Calvin Nilson, mother, Janet Nilson, sister Christy Nilson, brother Craig Nilson, brother Aaron, brother-in-law Kyle Dill, sister-in-law Heather Meenan, and her adored dogs Abby and Tatum.
Jessica was preceded in death by her grandparents, Julius (Wanda) Nilson, Sam Arrigo, and her loving dog, Boogs.
