Jessica Sarah Richardson
Jessie was born in Arlington Heights, Illinois, in 1985. There she attended Patton Elementary School, Thomas Middle School, and Hersey High School, and graduated from Wheeling High School. Right after high school she attended ETI, getting certified in heating and air conditioning, and finished at the top of the class and as the only woman in the class. At first, she resided in Illinois, then moved to Pennsylvania. Once there she attended Penn State Harrisburg, and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Information Sciences and Technology, and was honored as one of six Student Marshalls during graduation. For the last five years, Jessica worked for Deloitte’s Strategy & Analytics as a senior solutions specialist.
Jessie had a soft spot for her furry friends, treating each one like the valuable family member they were. She loved her family’s cats, her three rabbits, and her sweet dog Charlotte. Jessica loved traveling with Sam, camping, the beach, and her high-heeled Converse tennis shoes. She enjoyed swimming, jogging, yoga, and her hobbies: crocheting, painting, cooking, and reading.
Jessica is survived by parents Dave and Cathy Richardson, brother Ryan, nephew Cian, boyfriend Sam Maina, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. She will be missed by all who loved her.
