Jessie met the love of her life while still in high school and had a love story people only dream of. David met Jessie when she walked into class and thought about how she was a nice looking girl. Later that night they met once again at a dance where David made a bet to his friend, $10, that he would marry that girl, and he did just that! Jessie was a 1965 Graduate of Lowell High School where she served as a Girl Officer. Jessie lived for her only daughter Melissa, and later her grandchildren, attending their school activities and sports events. They also loved spending time at the beach, especially York, Maine, where they have been vacationing for many years. She was a champion cribbage player and enjoyed visiting the casino when she could. Jessie was also known for elegant Christmas parties where she would show off her decoration skills and invite friends and family alike for food, fun, and all around laughter.

Jessie will be missed by their lifelong friend, Raymond Masse and she was heartbroken at the passing of his wife Margaret "Peggy" Masse.

Last but not least, the family of Jessie Price would like to give a special thanks to Marlene Price who has been more than just a sister-in-law through all her life, but a close and amazing friend. Helping to take care of her in not only her time of need, but also through her time knowing her. They would also like to thank the entire nursing staff at Lowell General Hospital for the wonderful care given to Jessie.
