Jessica Nicole Peele, 36, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Sunday, July 20, 2025 at her home, surrounded by her loving family.
She was born Aug. 25, 1988, in Scotland County, daughter of Paula Kaye Peele and Timothy Wayne Haywood.
Jessie, as she was affectionately known, was a caring, helpful young lady to everyone. She had a strong faith in Christ and shared her love for Jesus with those around her. She dearly loved her church and church family, and enjoyed doing things with them.
Jessie also had a strong family bond within her immediate family and loved spending time with them and her cousins. She was a beautiful mother, daughter, granddaughter, sister, special niece, and friend.
“The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.” - Exodus 14:14
