Jessica M Gardner
LIVERMORE FALLS – Jessica M Gardner, 43, of Livermore Falls died unexpectedly on Monday June 7, 2021 from a heart attack. Her loss was completely unexpected, and the family is shocked and deeply saddened.
Jessica was born on June 28, 1977, to Robin Dalot in Hartford Conn. Jessica attended Jay High School. After graduating high school, she worked in the mental health field where she developed her passion of helping others. Once she became a mother, she knew her life’s purpose. Her five children were the light of her life and that light got even brighter when she became a Mammie to her grandchildren.
She most recently worked at the 99 Restaurant in Augusta and often referred to her coworkers as her work family.
Anyone who knew Jessica, knew that she was warm and loving. She lived life to its fullest. She had an immense passion for karaoke, especially Dixie Chicks and was always a source of positivity. She loved going to the beach and enjoying fun in the sun. Jessica’s family and friends will miss her beautiful soul more than words can say.
She is survived by her parents Greg Benson, Robin Dalot, and Donald LeBlond who loved her like his own; maternal grandmother Carol Barrett; two sisters, Melissa Lovewell and Nichole Wright; her five children Kyle Gardner, Michaela Higgins, Samara Anderson, Bria Anderson and Gage Stewart; and five grandchildren, Preston, Sophia, Nixon, McGuire and Kai.
She was predeceased by her maternal grandfather G. Richard Gardner; great-grandparents “Grammy and Papa”, Marion and George Gardner; and an infant grandson Grayson Pomeroy.
A small graveside memorial service will be held at Gracelawn Memorial Park in Auburn and celebration of life will be planned later in the Summer. Arrangements are cared for by Wiles Remembrance Center 308 Franklin Rd. Jay. A kind word may be left in her Book of Memories at http://www.wilesrc.com.
