Jessica Little Obituary
Jessica Dawn Little, born on March 25, 1982, in Farmington Hills, MI, passed away on May 31, 2025, in Wayne, MI, after a courageous battle with Breast Cancer. Jessica’s spirit was as strong as her determination, and she fought valiantly against her illness, extending her life beyond the expectations of the doctors and inspiring all who knew her.
A proud graduate of Wayne Memorial High School in 2000, Jessica embraced life with a warmth and compassion that touched countless hearts. She cherished her time spent with friends and family, always bringing joy and laughter into their lives. Her love for her cats was well-known, a testament to her nurturing nature that extended beyond her immediate family.
She leaves behind a loving family who will forever miss her presence: her devoted wife, Jessie Little; her cherished son, Jeffery Howton; and her supportive father, Jimmie Little. She is survived by her brothers—James (Laura) Little, Steven Little, Robert Little, and Jason (Lauren) Little. Jessica was also blessed with a loving mother-in-law, Roberta Ross, and a host of nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews, all of whom she adored.
Jessica is reunited in eternity with her beloved mother, Maryanne Little, and her brothers, Clifford Little and Christopher Little. Though they are no longer with us, their memories shine brightly in the hearts of those they left behind.
As we gather to honor Jessica's memory, let us remember her bright spirit, cherish our shared moments, and continue the legacy of love and compassion she imparted to each of us.
