Jessica Watsula

1981 - 2016

Jessica L. Watsula
South Lebanon Twp.
On the stormy night of Saturday, July 30, 2016, our beautiful daughter, Jessica Lynn (Brubaker) Watsula, age 35, was tragically cut short in a flash-flood in Ellicott City, Maryland. Though we have hurting, broken hearts, Jesus, Our Lord and Savior, took her from us to be home with him. We thank him for the time he did give us with you. But life will NEVER be the same without her, ever again. Even though we ask over and over again, W-H-Y?-We must go on with all the memories she left behind. She was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania on February 15, 1981 to her parents, Curtis A. Brubaker, Sr. and Drema K. (Bowman) Brubaker, of Holtwood. She was raised in Marticville and later Mount Nebo. She graduated from Penn Manor High School in 1999. She studied Law Enforcement in Vo-Tech, but went on to work in retail so she could have a flexible schedule. She loved being around and serving people and had a bubbly personality and a beautiful smile that people loved. She was very independent, energetic and loved going to the gym to work out. She loved the outdoors, nature, hiking, biking, the beach and summertime. Warm days were her favorite time, as well as Halloween and Christmas. There were always visits at Mom and Dad's farmette where she and her daughter, Sarah, loved seeing our little Chihuahuas, Tinker and Chester. Also they loved going to see Aunt Becky and family, Uncle Curt and family, talking to Aunt Missy and her family (who traveled in the Air Force). There were always holiday gatherings and family celebrations. Also taking Sarah to Daddy's house. When family and friends received gifts from her, they were always so unique, special, and from the heart. She loved talking to Mom and Nanny about the Bible. She loved the Lord, attended Living Waters Chapel in Lebanon, and always helped Sarah say her prayers. Sarah loved her mother so very much, and words could never describe all the love and care that Jessie had for Sarah. They had a special bond that Sarah will cherish forever. They were always together. They both had a passion for collecting Mermaids, and loved bird collectibles. They loved their little pet rats, Scarlet and Mocha, as well as their little finches. They loved sitting around a campfire together. Though they had many cherished friends, Mary Ann and Jennifer were so special. We were so proud of our petite, beautiful daughter with long, flowing hair and the gorgeous smile. If only we could hug you again and kiss your cheek. The tears, pain and memories will stay with us forever. Family is where life begins and love never ends. Hope we'll meet again someday.
