Jessica “Jessi” Renee Henderson
November 16, 1987 – January 13, 2024
Jessica passed away at Memorial Hospital in Gulfport, Mississippi on January 13, 2024.Jessica was a lifelong resident of Mississippi. She spent most of her life in North MS until the last few years when she lived on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and called herself a South Mississippi transplant. She has always loved the coast, but she was ready to hang up her coastal hat and come home. Instead, she went to her eternal home with the Lord.
Beloved daughter, sister and friend. To know Jessi was to love her. Jessi loved her Mama, her family, her friends, life, cruising, and her Ole Miss Rebels. She was also artistic and enjoyed painting. She was an amazing cook and loved tweaking recipes to make them her own unique way. She was a true friend and fiercely loyal to those who would allow her. She knew how to make everyone smile and feel loved. She would give a stranger her last penny or the shoes off her feet. She always stood up for what she believed in. She had a kind soul, loving spirit and infectious smile. She left this world way too soon, and she holds a special place in the heart of everyone who knew her.
