Growing up in Queens and as a young woman in New Hyde Park, Jessica always brought life, love, and laughter wherever she went.  After graduating from New Hyde Park Memorial High School, Jessica received her nursing degree from SUNY Farmingdale and went on to work at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bethpage, NY. During this time, she met the love of her life, Jaison. They were married on July 24, 2011 and later moved to Plainview, NY.  
Jessica was an amazing wife and mother of two beautiful girls, Ava and Olivia.  She was a second mother to her niece, Rachel, to her nephews, Nicholas, Dylan and Lucas, and to the children of her extended family and friends. Jessica’s love for children was her defining quality.  As a beloved member of St. Mary’s Orthodox Church in White Plains  and then St. Mary’s Orthodox Church in the Bronx after marriage, Jessica was always a role model for the youth around her.  As an adult, she made it her life's purpose to ensure all children were taken care of. 

We will always remember Jessica’s sense of humor, her compassion, and her relentless strength.  She was selfless, warm, and caring, always putting the needs of others above her own. With a single smile, Jessica brought light to the darkest of days and with gentle words she gifted courage to those around her.  With every beat of her heart, she fought for her family and lifted them up until the end.

After a twenty-month battle against breast cancer, Jessica returned to the Lord on Holy Saturday, March 31, 2018, passing peacefully and surrounded by family. The legacy of love that Jessica has left behind will be carried on by her husband, Jaison, and her daughters Ava and Olivia. She is also survived by her grandmother, Mariyamma, her parents, Joy, Valsa, Varghese (uncle), and Sosamma (aunt), her parents in-law, Babu and Podiamma, her siblings, Joycee, Basil, Ron, Janet, and John, her niece and nephews, and many other loving aunts, uncles, and cousins.
