Laurel, MS — April 8, 2025 — It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that the family and loved ones of Jessica Lynn Tucker announce her passing on April 4, 2025, at the age of 47. Jessica’s departure marks the end of a beautiful, compassionate life that touched the hearts of everyone fortunate enough to know her. As her family prepares to lay her to rest, they reflect on the legacy of love, kindness, and resilience that she leaves behind — a legacy that will live on in the memories and lives of all who knew her.
Born and raised in Mississippi, Jessica was a woman of quiet strength, gentle humor, and deep love. She was the kind of person who made others feel safe, heard, and cherished. Her presence alone could comfort, and her ability to offer love — both in words and action — was unmatched. Whether she was spending time with family, supporting a friend through hardship, or offering a warm smile to a stranger, Jessica’s kindness radiated from her effortlessly.
Jessica was deeply rooted in her faith and community, and she believed in the importance of giving back. Throughout her life, she dedicated her time to caring for others — as a devoted daughter, a loving mother, a loyal sister, and a treasured friend. Her compassion didn’t stop with those closest to her; she extended that same care to those who crossed her path, making a positive impact in every circle she touched.
Her loved ones remember her as a nurturing soul, someone who always placed others before herself. She found joy in simple moments — a good conversation, time spent outdoors, and Sunday afternoons surrounded by loved ones. Her laugh was genuine, her spirit enduring, and her love unwavering. She had a gift for making every person feel valued, and her ability to listen with empathy and respond with grace made her a trusted confidante to many.
As the community comes together to honor Jessica’s life, plans for her final farewell have been shared. A visitation will be held on April 9, 2025, at Colonial Chapel Funeral Home, offering friends, family, and members of the community the opportunity to gather, share memories, and say goodbye. The visitation will be followed by a graveside service at Calhoun City Cemetery, where she will be laid to rest among her ancestors and loved ones.
The grief her family feels is immeasurable, but so is their gratitude for the outpouring of support they’ve received. In this time of mourning, they ask for continued prayers and compassion as they begin the difficult journey of healing. They also invite all who knew Jessica to come and celebrate her life — a life defined not by how long she lived, but by how deeply she loved.
Jessica Lynn Tucker’s story is one of unwavering love, resilience through hardship, and the beauty of a life lived with purpose and compassion. Though her time on this earth was shorter than anyone would have wished, the imprint she left will last forever. Her strength will continue through the lives she shaped, the memories she left behind, and the example of love and kindness she gave to all.
She is survived by a heartbroken but grateful family, friends who will miss her presence every day, and a community that is better for having known her.
