Jessica L. Manning OBITUARY
Entered into rest on October 25, 2024 at the age of 43. Beloved mother to Benjamin and Delilah. Cherished daughter of Denise Jacinto of Fremont and Richard Manning of Arizona. Treasured sister to Kyle Manning of Ohio and Mandee Eckersley of Fremont. She is also survived by the many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and large chosen family who adored her.
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Jessica moved to Fremont in 1988. She attended Mission San Jose Elementary, Hopkins Junior High, and Mission San Jose High School before moving first to Ohio and then to Washington where she would go on to graduate from Redmond High School in 1999. Jessica moved back to Fremont in 2000 and remained in the Bay Area for the remainder of her adult life. She treasured the opportunity to live close to her large extended family.
Jessica's biggest source of pride were her children Benjamin and Delilah. She delighted in their academic and athletic accomplishments and enjoyed watching them grow up. She could be found spiritedly cheering them on from the stands and offering encouragement from the sidelines. She had extraordinary ambition for their future. In short, Benjamin and Delilah are her prized legacy.
Jessica was the life of the party. She made friends literally everywhere she went and counted a large group of close friends as family. She was a gifted athlete and enjoyed friendships with softball teammates over many years. She was a hard worker and formed relationships with colleagues across the disaster restoration positions she held over the last 15 years as well as her earlier tenure in various roles at The Men's Wearhouse. She was a daughter, a mother, a sister, an aunt, a cousin, and a niece and the scores of people who loved her already miss her terribly.
A celebration of her life will be held on Friday, November 22, 2024, 11am at Fremont Memorial Chapel, 3723 Peralta Blvd. in Fremont with a reception to follow.
