Jessica Crider Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Ridgelawn Funeral Home on Jan. 5, 2026.
Jessica Marie Crider passed away on January 1, 2026. She was 36 years old, and was born on March 14, 1989, at St. Margaret Hospital in Hammond, Indiana; she was raised in Schererville, Indiana.

She loved animals and spending time with her family. She loved horses, her two cats, Precious and Greyson; her rabbit, Cinnabon, and her beloved dog, Blue.

Jessica was a hardworking, dedicated mom. She loved to help others anywhere she went; it didn't matter if she had a million in her pocket or just a dollar; if someone needed something, she was there.

She was filled with life and love, and had such a beautiful smile. She was a daughter, mother, sister, niece, cousin, and aunt. Jessica will be forever in our hearts.

Jessica is survived by her beloved daughter, Nevaeh McCutchen; her parents, David and Starlene Crider; her siblings, Matthew (Ann) Michael (Jennifer) and Sarah Crider; and a host of nephews and cousins.

Celebration of Life Services will be Thursday, January 8, 2026, 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. from Ridgelawn Funeral Home 4201 West Ridge Road Gary, Indiana 46408. Interment private.
