Jessie Katz Obituary
Jessie was easy-going, had a great sense of humor, and a kind heart. She enjoyed writing, participating in online support groups, and being out and about whether it was shopping or making her coffee run. Her time with us was shortened, but the memories of her will be cherished and she will be greatly missed by many.
In addition to her parents, Jessie is survived by her four beautiful children, Jared Ahern, Samantha Katz, Victor Katz, and Olivia Wotton; her sisters Rebecca (Todd) French and Madeline (Jay) Rossi; her brother Jeffrey (Karen) Miller; her maternal grandparents Carole Hobson and Thomas Maringola; her paternal grandmother Phyllis Miller; and several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her paternal grandfather Richard Miller Sr.
Her family will receive relatives and friends at The Wallingford Funeral Home on Monday, November 1, 2021 from 4pm until 6pm with a funeral service to follow in the funeral home at 6pm. Interment will be private.

I am so very sorry to hear of Jessie’s passing. I met her in an online support group but also lived close enough where we would occasionally meet for coffee. She was such a kind soul. She will very much be missed.

Like time that passes too quickly you are gone from our lives
Much like a whisper of love in the wind
But as long as love and memories survive
You will always be remembered and loved in our hearts

Jessie was a good friend of my daughter. She made a trip to CA to help my daughter and her sons move back to CT. She was a wonderful woman, witty, funny and caring. I'm sending sincere condolences to her whole family. An tragic loss at such a young age. My heart is with all of you.
