Born Nov. 29, 1931, in Oldtown, Jessie was the daughter of the late Edith Gordon Lewis and Curtis Lewis. She was preceded in death by her husband, Paul Stansberry.
Jessie was a 1949 graduate of Fort Hill High School and was a lifelong Big Red fan. She worked in past years at various department stores and as a school bus assistant.

She will be missed by the wonderful people who were always there for her, Pam Stallman, Linda Keefauver, Sandra Wachter, and Cecil, who can fix anything, and those who will always be considered family, Cheryl Jones and Cheyenne Jones. It is a great comfort that she will be joining friends and family who passed before her, Mac, Buddy, Jean and Joshua.
