Her sudden passing has left a profound void in the hearts of all who knew her, but her beautiful spirit, unwavering kindness, and infectious warmth will continue to live on in cherished memories.
Born on July 18, 1980, Jessica was a shining light from the very beginning. She grew up in a close-knit family and was known from a young age for her compassion, creativity, and resilient heart. Jessica carried those traits into adulthood, where she blossomed into a woman who touched countless lives through her words, actions, and presence.
Jessica was a woman of incredible strength and gentle grace. She embodied empathy and authenticity, creating safe spaces for others to be seen, heard, and loved. Whether she was supporting a friend in need, volunteering in her community, or offering encouragement to someone going through a difficult time, Jessica did so with humility and an open heart.
She pursued her professional and personal life with passion. A skilled communicator, organizer, and advocate, Jessica excelled in her career and remained a steadfast pillar to those around her. Her colleagues remember her as not only a dedicated worker, but also a source of inspiration, humor, and grounded wisdom.
Jessica’s greatest joy, however, was found in the love she shared with her family. She was a devoted wife, a nurturing mother, a loyal sister, and a beloved daughter. To her children, she was a guiding light — a source of unconditional love, thoughtful advice, and daily laughter. She took pride in the small moments: bedtime stories, school projects, spontaneous dance parties, and heartfelt conversations that left lasting imprints on their lives.
To her spouse, Jessica was a partner in every sense of the word — their bond built on mutual respect, trust, and an abiding friendship that stood strong through all of life’s seasons. Their love story, full of quiet strength and shared dreams, will remain a testament to enduring commitment and deep connection.
Jessica’s love for life extended to her passions. She was an avid reader, a lover of music and art, and found peace in nature’s embrace — especially during long walks along the river or early morning coffee moments in the garden. She had an eye for beauty in the ordinary and a soul attuned to the sacredness of everyday life.
Those who knew Jessica speak of her laughter — warm, contagious, and always genuine. She had an uncanny ability to lift others up, even when she herself was struggling. Her life was a masterclass in resilience, empathy, and intentional living. She taught by example that the most powerful legacy is not wealth or achievement, but love — fiercely given, generously shared, and humbly received.
Jessica Renee Finn-Stenson is survived by her loving family, including her spouse, children, parents, siblings, extended relatives, and a wide circle of friends who will forever miss her light. She was preceded in death by loved ones whose memories she continued to honor throughout her life.
As the community mourns her passing, they also gather in celebration of her life — a life that was purposeful, kind, and deeply impactful. Her legacy will endure through the lives she touched, the love she gave, and the lessons she modeled.
A memorial service will be held in the coming days, where family and friends will come together to honor Jessica’s extraordinary life and the incredible mark she leaves behind.
In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations to be made in Jessica’s name to causes she cared deeply about, including mental health advocacy, children’s education programs, and women’s empowerment initiatives.
Though Jessica Renee Finn-Stenson may no longer walk among us, her essence will forever be present — in every act of kindness, every note of laughter, and every life changed because of her. May she rest in eternal peace, surrounded by the same boundless love she gave so freely in her time on Earth.
