IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Jessica T.
Hanna
March 8, 1983 – April 6, 2024
On the eve of April 6, 2024, surrounded by her loving family, Jessica Hanna peacefully went to her eternal reward. In December 2020 Jessica was diagnosed with breast cancer while only 14 weeks pregnant with her 4th child. She was determined to bring her son into the world and conquer cancer with the help of God's immense mercy and grace. Surgery while pregnant revealed a large tumor with 43 lymph nodes positive, and she was deemed likely terminal. After boldly uniting her Cross with Christ, running to the Sacraments and help from the power of prayer, Jessica was miraculously clear of all cancer two weeks after the birth of her son, Thomas. Unfortunately, on December 12, 2022 cancer had returned stage 4 and terminal. After quickly spreading to many more lymph nodes, bones and lung, Jessica's overall health declined in early 2024 and ultimately the aggressive cancer spread to her brain.
Well known for her multiple talents, attributes, infectious personality, and sense of humor, she was most known for her unwavering empathy towards others. Jessica had a unique way to make everybody she came across feel loved, cared for, and important. In her last years this genuine love for others spread like wildfire as an online ministry to help save souls. With God's grace she succeeded beyond what even she could have imagined. Her witness of redemptive suffering has helped thousands around the world strengthen their faith, and will continue to do so after her death.
Loving wife and best friend of Lamar with whom she shared 12 years of marriage. Cherished mother of Christopher, Mary, Joseph, and Thomas. Precious daughter of Marie Peters and Camille Peters. Adored Sister of Sharon (Sam), Robert (Margie), Lindsey (Dylan).Loving daughter in law of Laith and Zinah Hanna and dear sister in law to Mark (Sarah) and Andrew (Gabriella.) She will also be missed dearly by her grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family, and friends. A truly remarkable woman, Jessica's legacy will live on through all who were blessed to know her.
