Jessie is survived by her son Wayne Douglas, who she was always very supportive of. She is also survived by her sister; Thelma Saunders, nephews; Stanley, Charlie and Roy, niece; Mary (Dennis) Herbert of Louisiana.
In addition to her parents, Jessie is predeceased by her brothers; Burpey, Murray and George, sister Elva Saunders along with her nieces Marilyn and Gladys and nephews; Tommy and Paul.
Our family wishes to express our many thanks and appreciation to the staff of Elm House, including all RN’s, RNA’s, RA’s, Dietary and Housekeeping staff for the care and compassion shown towards Mom over the years.
Jessie was a very special angel; may God welcome her into his heavenly home.
