Jessica A. Eastridge of Wilmington passed away peacefully at St. Francis Hospital on Monday, June 7, 2021 at the age of 45.
Jessie was the daughter of Stephen F. Eastridge and Cheryl (Kirby) Eastridge. She graduated from Howard High School of Technology’s dental assistant program in the 90s and worked for several local dentists during that time period.
Although Jessie’s life took some tragic twists and turns over the years, her bright and positive spirit managed to shine through at all times. She loved arts, crafts, music, and reading. She particularly loved sharing a good laugh with family and friends. But more than anything, she treasured the occasions when she could spend time with her beloved daughter, Olivia, her heart.
Her time here was brief, but her beautiful spirit will live on in the hearts of those who knew her and loved her. She will be missed.
Jessie was preceded in death by her father, Stephen F. Eastridge, and her brother, Matthew S. Eastridge. She is survived by her mother, Cheryl Eastridge; her daughter, Olivia Hagen of Newark; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
