Obituary For Jessica Joseph

Jessica Monique Joseph, 45, of Union City Georgia, passed away peacefully in her sleep on the morning of May 28, 2020. After a five year battle with breast cancer, Jessica is finally resting in peace! Jessica was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico on March 2, 1975 to Sylvia Henry and Kenneth Joseph. Jessica lived in St. Thomas Virgin Island where she resided with her second set of parents, Aunt Monica and her husband Cartright Joseph, until the age of nine. She then joined her mother in Miami where she completed Elementary, Middle and graduated from Miami Springs Sr. High School with honors in 1992. Jessica attended College at Miami Dade where she studied Travel and Tourism. Jessica pursued a career in hospitality working with Holiday Inn, over the course of 11 years. In 2003 she started her career in RealEstate; while working in Real Estate she developed an interest in Banking and started working for Suntrust Bank where she worked her way up from a call center bank agent to an assistant branch manager over the course of 12 years. In the Spring of 2015 Jessica relocated to Norcross GA where she continued her career in banking as an Assistant Branch Manager with Fifth Third Bank. From classmates to coworkers and customers alike, Jessica has made a positive impact on those she engaged with and created long lasting friendships. Jessica was a wonderful daughter, sister and mother who enjoyed going to the beach, shopping, traveling and spending time with her friends and family. Most of all she enjoyed being a Mother to her daughter and only child Kristyn Ramessar; raising Kristyn brought much joy and purpose to her life. Jessica was the first born child to her mother and will always have a special place in her mother's heart. Jessica was the best big sister anyone could have; she was like a mother to her younger siblings as they grew up, then their best friend as they got older. Beautiful both inside and out, Jessica was a pure hearted person, loved and adored by many. Jessica is survived by all of her Parents, Sylvia Henry, Kenneth Joseph and Aunt Monica and Cartwright Joseph. Child Kristyn Ramessar (The Princess).

Nieces and Nephews, Aariyani Riggins, Jahkai Henry Rivers, Jahlani Gumbs and Dietrick Holliday Jr just to name a few, as well as several Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins too numerous to mention. We will miss your beautiful smile and infectious spirit. It has truly been a blessing to have such a wonderful daughter, sister, niece and mother like you in all of our lives. We will forever miss you and keep you in our hearts. Sleep in peace, until that day when we shall meet again.

Jessie, I never imagined a day like this. I am filled with emotions, I am in denial, I feel empty. We've been friends for 25 years; the year was 1995 when we met and it took me a long time to understand that a human being could be as wonderful as you were. Your integrity, your honesty, your love and empathy for others are characteristics you don't find in humans. God created an angel with flesh to live among us for a short time and calls you home now for a bigger purpose. My sincere condolences to your family. Mrs Henry, Jasmin, Kristyn, Jason and everyone else mourning, my prayers are with you. Jessica was special. Thank you Jessie for the memories, thank you for your friendship, thank you for everything. I will always love you. Rest In Peace. Cooky

I met first met Jessica In 1987 when I stayed at their home in Miami for about one week. She was quiet, calm, friendly with that infectious, disarming smile. She and her brother, Jason welcomed new heartily and wanted to hug me all the time. This moved their mother, my cousin, to order, "Aryuh gwarn go siddung and mek de uhman loath." Jessica would smile and say, with Jason tagging along in agreement, "We just want to hug her." The response, "Me say go siddung." Stolen moments, which I thoroughly enjoyed were led by Jessica. My visits stopped in 1988 and when Brenda visited Antigua, she would say, "Yuh haffu arse fuh Jessica fus, yuh nuh no nobady else." I had not seen Jessica in the intervening years until the day they were leaving Antigua following their visit in December 2019. I arrived at the airport and wondered whether I would recognize her. She saw me first and ran towards me with girlish abandon. That infectious, disarming smile was unmistakable. We hugged and hugged and with a look of nostalgia, she said, "I wish Jason was here so we could hug you like when we were kids." We laughed knowingly and chatted animatedly. We said goodbye and she said she wanted to come back in mango season and we would spend more time together. I savoured the prospect. My heart is broken and so sad to come to terms with her passing, especially since it occured on the same date that I lost my dear husband in 2011. Kristyn, Brenda, Jason, Jasmine and all family members, please accept condolences from me and my family. You are always in my prayers and you are in a special way at this difficult time. The God of love will comfort and keep you as He has kept and is keeping me. Supportive family members will be here with physical ears and shoulders for you. I will always remember and treasure the lovely, vivacious Jessica. That smile is engraved in my mind. Love and blessings

I met Jessica years ago. I was the Realtor assisting her mother in search for her new home. Jessica was with us every time we met. Jessica and her family left me with a sense of how strong and loving they were. Her mother and I bonded as time passed. Jessica will be sadly missed. I would like to extend my sincere condolences to her daughter Kristyn and the rest of the family. Nancy Watkins

I never knew Jessica personally, but I visited her mom with my sister Erna, who repeated said to me that this is a kind, loving, compassionate and generous family. I sincerely express sympathy to the family in losing a dear one as Jessica. May these words sustain you as you grief:" I will fortify you, yes I will help you, I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness." Isaiah 41:10. Jacklyn Etienne

Never knew One score, ten and two, wow! Who would believe it would have ended on 28th May 2020. Never knew that Friday 22nd May 2020 would be the last time we would have spoken when you called me. Never knew when I took you you along with the family to the airport on Monday 30th December, 2019 would be the last time seeing you alive, just never knew. I have known Jessie as I would call her for 32 years and I will always cherish the times and moments we shared together. I'm deeply saddened by her passion and more so because of the pandemic won't be there for her home going service to bid herfarewell. So until that great getting up morning when we shall meet again I say SIP Jessie, Love Adelta (Delta) Burton.
