OBITUARY

Jessica Lynn Wilson

31 August, 1988 – 6 December, 2025
IN THE CARE OF

Elm Ridge Funeral Home & Memorial Park

Jessica Lynn Wilson, 37, of Muncie, passed away on December 6, 2025, at IU Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. She was born on August 31, 1988, in Anderson, IN, to David and Lisa Wilson.

Jessica had a deep love for creating. She found peace and joy in knitting and crocheting, and she especially loved crafting with her Cricket, pouring her heart into every project she made. Jessica’s creativity extended into writing, where her words became a gift to others—most memorably when she wrote a book for her son, a lasting testament to her love and imagination. She also enjoyed drawing and coloring, always finding beauty in simple moments of expression.

Animals held a special place in Jessica’s heart, particularly bunnies and guinea pigs, which reflected her gentle and nurturing spirit. She had a love for doing her makeup and hair, taking pride in her appearance and treating it as another form of art. Her hair and makeup were always thoughtfully done; a reflection of the care she put into everything she touched.

Despite facing many hardships throughout her life, Jessica remained wise beyond her years, optimistic in the face of adversity, and deeply caring toward others. She had a big heart and a natural compassion that made people feel seen and valued.

Though her life was far too short, it was filled with creativity, love, and a quiet strength that touched everyone who knew her. Jessica’s resilience and kindness were an inspiration, and her love will continue to live on through those she leaves behind.

Jessica is survived by her parents, David and Lisa Wilson; children, Justin Wilson, Jordan Coates, Jeremiah Coates, Jennessa Wilson, Charity Myers, and Daniel “IV” Myers; granddaughter, Oaklynn Marie Wilson; sisters, Anna (Matthew Buck) Brosio and Jennifer Wilson; nieces and nephews, Haiden, Braiden, Jaycee, Jaylah, Ja’von, and Jaydah; grandparents, George and Mary Wilson; uncle, Rick Wilson; aunt, Debbie (José) Sanchez; the father of her children, Jimmy Coates; and her best canine friend, Sissy.

She was preceded in passing by her grandpa, Marvin Wilson; grandma, Betty Auten; great-grandma, Carol Wilson; aunts, Khaylon May and Sue Wilson; niece, Jaylee; and cousin, Spencer Hobbs.

The family will announce a celebration of life at a later date.
