Jessica's role as a mother brought immense joy to her heart. She leaves behind three sons: Devon Bruner, George Spenneberg Jr., and Jordan L. Buchanan; and a daughter, Mercedes (Chris) Upton. Her love for them knew no bounds and she took great pride in witnessing their growth and accomplishments.

Jessica also showered affection upon her dog Jimmy and had an affinity for animals beyond measure. Her compassion extended not only to pets but to all creatures big and small.

Throughout life's ups and downs, Jessica found strength in the loving presence of her family. She is survived by her mother, Maggie Briley (Gary Garriott); her twin sister, Jennifer (Ian) Munsie; a brother, Bradley (Jill) Tanner; and her grandmother, Ruth Briley and Paul Owens. Jessica was a beloved daughter and granddaughter, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever be treasured.

In addition to her immediate family, Jessica was preceded in death by her father, John W. Chadwell Jr., two sisters Julie Ann Chadwell and Brandie Chadwell, as well as maternal grandfather and paternal grandparents.

The loss of Jessica will also be deeply felt by numerous uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who were touched by her genuine kindness and warm spirit. The impact she made on their lives is immeasurable and will continue to resonate in their hearts.

Jessica Louise Chadwell's life was one marked by selflessness and love. Her dedication to the welfare of others through charity work exemplifies the beautiful soul she possessed.
