Jessica K. Rhoades, 41, of East Liverpool, passed away unexpectedly due to a sudden illness on Saturday, July 26, 2025, at her residence.

She was born on October 2, 1983, to the late Carol Hunter (Gerald). An accomplished graduate of Chillicothe High School, Jessica was committed to her studies at Kent State University, working towards a degree in counseling for Drug and Alcohol Intervention, while also serving an impactful internship at Meridian Health Care. Jessica was passionate about music and actively attended concerts. A dedicated gamer, she embraced her love for nature, often spending quality time in the park with her two sons.

Her legacy will live on through her sons, Hunter and Hudson Rhoades; her brother, Joshua Hunter (Alissa); sister, Monja Hunter; niece, Kiya Hunter; nephews, Seth Anderson and Cais Hunter; cousins, Brent Panky (Tammy) and Shanna Pankey; as well as her close friends, Kami and Jessi. Jessica was preceded in death by her husband, Stephen Richard Rhoades, and her brother, Dakota James Raymond Hunter.

No services are planned at this time, and she is being cared for by the Arner Funeral Chapel.
