Jade was called home on Christmas Day, December 25, 2025, in Billings, Montana, surrounded by her loving daughters and sister. She was deeply loved and will forever be cherished by all who knew her.
Born on December 29, 1984, Jade brought light, kindness, and warmth into the lives of everyone she met. She was a sweet and gentle soul whose greatest joy in life was being a mother. Jade was the proud mother of two beautiful daughters, Madalynn Eder and Serenity Cope, whom she loved fiercely and unconditionally.
Jade graduated from high school and went on to attend college. She later moved to Missouri, where she built her family and created many meaningful memories. Later in life, she returned home, carrying with her the strength, resilience, and love that defined who she was.
Jade is reunited in heaven with her beloved son, Austin James Cope, her grandmother, Abigail Reddoor, her mother, Lanette Ryan, and her grandfather, Eugene Thomas Ryan.
She is survived by her daughters, Madalynn Eder and Serenity Cope; her sister, Ashley (Kenneth) Trottier; her brother, Trey Pribbernow; and her nieces, Timi and Taci Trottier, along with many extended family members and friends who will miss her dearly.
A celebration of Jade’s life will be held in the spring, when her family will gather to honor her memory and spread her ashes.
Jade will be remembered for her kind heart, her gentle spirit, and her unwavering love for her children. She will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
