Jess was predeceased by her Grandfather William Schnur, Grandmother Erma Skal, Aunt Maurine Arsenault and Uncle Michael Schnur. Jess was full of life and just lit up a room when she walked into it. She always had a big smile and her positive attitude was contagious. Jess loved to travel, loved the beach, and loved her family and friends. Jess was our shining light and Dancing Queen. Everything with and for Jess was an adventure; every meal, every trip, every new wine, everything was the best! Jessica worked at Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy in Newington, as an Admissions Representative. Jess enjoyed working with the students and many of the staff who she considered her “work family”. In addition to her full time career, Jess was pursuing her degree at Albertus Magnus College. Jess’s family would like to thank the Trauma Emergency Department and Neurological Trauma ICU for the excellent care she received. An extra thank you to the nurses in the ICU who showed such compassion and respect to Jess and to our family. A memorial service with Rabbi Jeffrey Bennett officiating will be held on Tuesday November 28 at the Westbrook Elks Lodge, 142 Seaside Avenue, Westbrook, CT at 11:30 A.M. which was Jess’s “happy place” on the water, with a lunch immediately following the service. The family will receive visitors from 3:00 to 7:00 P.M. at the home of Alan and Deborah Schnur at 55 Uncas Road, Clinton, CT. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Hartford Hospital Trauma Unit or the charity of your choice. Arrangements are entrusted to Weinstein Mortuary, Hartford, CT.
