Jessica Marie Pepe Obituary

October 2, 1986 - January 21, 2025

"Grief, I've learned, is really just love... with no place to go."

On Christmas Eve, Jessica was brought to the hospital, setting her on a month-long journey, where she succumbed to the complications of her cardiac arrest. Jessie's daughters, Nevaeh and Aliciana, want everyone to know, she did not spend her last days alone. Though they couldn't be by her side in the ICU, the children sent letters, made a photo board of their holiday, and started a memory box capturing the best and most precious moments of their mother's life.

Jessica did not leave this world alone, and she did not enter the next alone either. She has been reunited with her beloved mother, Valerie. Together, they will continue to watch over Nevaeh and Aliciana, offering their love and protection in ways they could not before.

A memorial mass will be held in Jessica's honor, inviting all who loved her to share their cherished memories and contribute to the girl's Memory Box.

Please join us at Stella Maris Church on Saturday, March 15th, at 10:00 AM.

Instead of flowers, please consider donating to Nevaeh and Aliciana's GoFundMe, managed by their guardian, Julia Thomes, to help create the successful life their mother always wanted for them.
