Jessica Erwin Sterling

Jessica Erwin Sterling, beloved wife, devoted mother of two sons, loving daughter, nurturing sister, and avid gardener, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love, faith, and unwavering strength.

Jessica was the heart of her family. As a mother, she was nurturing, patient, and deeply devoted to her boys, guiding them with kindness and unconditional love. As a wife, she was a constant partner and source of support, sharing a life grounded in commitment, compassion, and shared purpose.

Known for her gentle spirit and caring nature, Jessica touched the lives of those around her through her warmth, empathy, and unwavering faith. She lived with a deep belief in God’s presence and purpose, carrying grace through both joyful and challenging moments.

Jessica’s life, though far too brief, was rich with meaning. Her love continues through her children, her family, and all who were blessed to know her. She will be remembered for her generous heart, her courage, and the light she brought into the world.

While we will miss her immensely, we are comforted in knowing that as she closed her eyes here on Earth, she opened them and looked upon the face of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Then as death, gives way to Victory, I’ll see the lights of Glory and know he reigns. She will live forever because He lives.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him.    Proverbs 3:5-6.
