Jesha was married to Roshan John, her confidant, partner, and friend for 17 years. They raised two wonderful children together Ethan John and Ryan John. She was very strong in her faith and was a firm believer in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and her favorite verses were Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future", and 2 Corinthians 12:9 "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness".

She fared extremely well in academics and athletics, won many awards for track in school sports, district, and at state level and in college.

She was a very active member of the St Mary's Indian Orthodox, Church in Boston and took a profound interest in Sunday School, MGOCSM, MMVS and spiritual activities.

Jesha's family owes their sincere gratitude to the church family, immediate neighbors, friends, and many more who were a constant source of comfort and strength during her tough battle with Cancer. All through her battle, she chose to be an inspiration and to share grace and strength, instead of pain and sadness. She wanted that to be her legacy. Here is a link to the blog she started to write about her faith, testimony, and journey -https://jeshajohn.wixsite.com/instrumentofgod. Jesha was confident as Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 4:7-8 "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day -and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing".
