Jessica Minney Obituary

Jessica Lynn Minney, 38, of Colchester, formerly of Hebron, CT, passed away June 8, 2021. Jessica was fearless in life and believed she could outrun the wind, but lost her hard fought battle at home with her beloved son, Cameron Isaiah, and her parents, Fred and Ava Minney, by her side. Jessica left this earth to join her brother, Grayson Paul Minney, who lost his life May 11, 2013. She loved him and his music he wrote and played with his band Columbia, Fields. Jessica lit up a room with her sparkling green eyes and beautiful face. She was also a crusader for unfortunate animals and adopted many over the years to give them much deserved love and a second chance in life. Jessica had a huge heart and would help anyone in need. Jessica was employed in management at United Parcel Service for many years. During her illness this year she struggled to work a bit due to her loyalty and dedication to coworkers and company. That is a rare quality and character trait in these times. Jessica is and will be sorely missed by family, friends, UPS, and the world. God will reunite us all someday. We give special thanks and appreciation to Hartford Healthcare At Home. Their hospice unit help was invaluable for us caring for Jessica in her final days at home. May God bless hospice nurses. Final arrangements are private, but there will be a celebration of life event to come soon. Jessica will be laid to rest next to Grayson in the family plot at New Hebron Cemetery.

I will always have fond memories playing with Jessica and her brother Grayson when we were children. Their laughter and energy were contagious and it makes me happy to think of those good times. We lost touch over time, but I will always remember Jessica as a friend. Deepest sympathy to her son and parents Ava and Fred. Stay strong knowing she is in a better place. Sending love and prayers.

Having known Ava since high school, I never imagined I would be writing a comment in her daughter Jessica’s obituary. I can’t even begin to know the sense of loss and heartbreak you and your family are experiencing. I never had the pleasure of knowing Jessica but she strongly resembled Ava. A beautiful woman. Please take life a day at a time and grieve however you need to. My heart felt love is there to help you if I can. Love Sharon Valley

Jessica was a sweet girl. She has gone way too soon. We cannot express how sorry we are for your loss. You've already lost your son Grayson and no one should have to lose their children. We cannot stop thinking of you and you are constantly in our hearts and thoughts.
