Jessie was born with special needs and was blessed to grow up in the small town of Hoyt Lakes, MN where she was loved and watched over by the entire community. She spent most of her adult years in an independent living community in Virginia MN and then spent the last decade of her life living with her mom in Eagan, MN and then in an assisted living home in Rosemount.
Jessie loved being busy and was very social! She was active in her community, and held numerous jobs. She participated in Special Olympics activities, including skiing, swimming, bowling and ice skating.
Jessie had a very full social life and everyone was her best friend! Her playful personality and ability to laugh and bring joy into every situation will always be remembered.  She never missed an opportunity for a party and loved to dance to polka music with family and friends. In fact, she learned to play the accordion so she could play her own polka music!
Jessie had an amazing ability to remember people’s names and birthdates and enjoyed sending out letters and cards to family and friends. She was a very thoughtful, joyful and loving little lady who will be missed by all who knew and loved her!

A memorial gathering was held in Eagan MN on January 9th at The Eagan Community Center. There will be a Celebration of Life on Saturday, January 21st at the Ziemer-Moeglein-Shatava Funeral Home in Aurora from 2-4 with prayers at 3:45 p.m.  A gathering of friends and family will be held at the American Legion with a reception and sharing of "Jessie stories".  Inurnment and blessing of her ashes at the Hoyt Lakes cemetery will take place in the spring.
