Jessica Marie Smith was born on June 11, 1965, to Stoney and Thelma Mae Smith in Bunnell, Florida.
Jessica dedicated 30 years of her life to working as a housekeeper, including five years of service at the Best Western Hotel.

She leaves to cherish her memory: her sons, Remus L. Smith (Jenifer), Tyran P. Smith, and Cornelius Baker; her daughters, Felicia London (James), Jessica Holiday, and Takirra Baker; her stepdaughters, Michelle and Lashunda Dillard; her life partner, John Cruse; her special daughter-in-law, Mattie Verdell; and her 2nd mother, Annbell London. She is also survived by 19 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren; her sisters, Dorothy Mae Cross and Kathleen Brooks; her aunts, Roberta Smith and Rosa Baldwin; and her sisters-in-law, Barbara Ann Strother (Deacon) and Maggie Francis.
