I have known Jessie for many many years. She was one of the sweetest Christian ladies I ever knew. Always sat with her at church when I was able and she always met me with a big hug and smile. Went to her house with my mom (Jackie and stepdad Herbert Slettvet) riding horses, picnics. She will be greatly missed by all!

Jessie was a very special lady. Her husband Oliver was my 2nd cousin. Wonderful example of kindness and Christian love.
