Jessica Lynn Ward

It is with deep sadness we announce the sudden loss of Jessica Lynn Ward on the 26th of November, at the age of 42, following a tragic accident in Huntsville, Ontario.  

Jessica was born and raised in Huntsville, Ontario. She was full of life and quick wit. She filled rooms with vivid colour and effervescence. Jessica was strong-willed, incredibly giving, and spoke her mind with confidence and love. She was best known for her candidness, which always brought laughter and joy to those around her.  

Jessica's memory lives on through her greatest gift to the world: her children Danica, 17 and Saxon, 14. We will always see Jessica in their mesmerizing, striking blue eyes that mirrored her own. She also leaves behind her mother Sandy Van Erp (Nick), siblings Vanessa Blanchard (Kevin), Courtney Stickel, Melissa Van Erp, and Casey Van Erp (Kresson), as well as nephew Curtis Mayka and niece Mikayla Blanchard. Our lives will be forever dulled without her in it. 

Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held on December 10th, from 1-4pm, at Main St. Local Kitchen in Huntsville. Given the limited space at the celebration of life, the family kindly asks for your patience upon arrival. Everyone's presence is important to us, and your understanding and patience as we manage entry will be immensely appreciated. 

The family welcomes you to please share any photos, videos, memories, stories, or anecdotes of Jessica you wish to their Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qCKLwnDCaCQjDw3lYSIm97kV7rSgGmgJ?usp=sharing

In lieu of flowers, donations made to the Women’s Shelter in Huntsville at https://mwag.ca/ or the Canadian Mental Health Association at https://cmha.ca/news/branches/muskoka-parry-sound-branch/  would be greatly appreciated by the family, and may be arranged online, or through Billingsley Funeral Home.
