She is preceded in death by her granny, Elaine T. Frazier; her sister, Megan D. Frazier; her aunt, Sonya D. Frazier; her granddaddy, Ronald J. McGuirt; and her uncle, Donnie McGuirt.

Jessica was an LPN for 20 plus years. She also began sub teaching in 2016 for Newbery County School District at Whitmire Community School. She coached youth recreational basketball in Whitmire. She became the assistant basketball coach at Whitmire Community School in 2022. She became the sub nursing for Newberry County School District. She loved impacting youth and loved her student athletes so much.

She attended and helped start and name Fountain of Faith Baptist Church in Joanna. She was a member of the Praise Team and lead in song worship there as well. She loved music and singing gospel music. She was a member of Fairview Baptist Church all her life and that was her home church.

She was devoted to raising her three kids and took many others as her own. She was an advocate and avid caregiver for her son Eli. She was blessed to call Dr. Robyn Hatley, (Peds Surgeon, Augusta, GA) a friend and family. Her faith was tested many times, especially with cancer. However, even if she received “Ultimate Healing”, she was a winner either way.

Flowers are welcome, monetary donations can be made to the Whitmire Lady Basketball program or Newberry County School District Special Education Department in honor of her son, Eli Johnson, in her memory.
