December 1, 2021

Jessica Ann Nash arrived at her eternal resting place on December 1st, 2021. Jess resided in Wellington, Colorado with her husband Neil Nash and their three sons, Brandon, Matthew, and Nathan. Jessica Ann Alderman was born to Kathy Kinsey and Bob Alderman on December 8th, 1974 in Denver, CO. She spent much of her childhood making fond memories with her brother Jeremy in Aurora, and then Lakewood, graduating from Lakewood High School in 1994. After graduation, Jess sought to pursue a career in Early Childhood Education and attended Red Rocks Community College. In 1997 Jess moved to Grand Junction where she met and married Neil Nash in 1998. Neil and Jess started their life together in Palisade, CO. Jess continued her love for Early Childhood Education by operating an in-home daycare which allowed her the flexibility to be there for the every need of their three boys. In 2018 Neil and Jess purchased a home in Wellington, CO to be closer to their Northern Colorado family. With the boys now older, Jess’s vast experience afforded her employment at The Goddard School in Fort Collins, where she worked in the infant room. Throughout her all too short, but fulfilling life, Jess truly loved being a Mother. She cherished many family moments with Neil and the boys, as well as extended family. Her fondest memories being the many camping trips the family embarked on. Jess was the ultimate Soccer Mom! She never missed a game, or a band concert, or a derby car race. Jessica’s true passion was her family. On March 4th 2021, Jessica received a diagnosis of Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer with a terminal prognosis. During her treatments, Jess was strong as nails, and unyielding to her cancer, she never showed that inside she was terrified. After her intense but valiant battle against Cancer, Jess took her last breath on Earth, December 1st at 12:46a, peacefully at home. Jess is survived by her husband Neil, sons Brandon - 22, Matthew - 20, and Nathan - 15; her mother Kathy and brother Jeremy; uncles Gene and Pat and grandmother Betty. Jess is dearly missed by a slew of loving in-laws, nieces, nephews and cousins. It was Jessica’s request that her family and friends have a gathering in celebration of her life. A casual Celebration Open House will be held on Sunday December 12, 2021, from 2-4pm. 6415 North Highway 1, Wellington, CO 80549.
