Jessica Ann Dewey, 42, LaFargeville, passed away on Thursday, November 10th after a long battle with health issues.
Born August 7, 1980, in Watertown, she was the daughter of David C. Dewey and Christine Jensen-Hammer.
Jessica loved movies, writing, pets and her family. She faced many heath hurdles from an early age and was one of the strongest and bravest people we know. Despite her struggles, she loved life and every person (and pet) she met.
Surviving are her father, David, her sister Alicia (Jake Tibbles) Dewey, her niece, Harper, her Uncle Patrick (Gerry) Dewey, many wonderful cousins and her beloved cat George.
She was predeceased by her grandparents, Robert and Marjorie Dewey and Hans and Caroline Jensen-Hammer, her uncles Gary Dewey and Robert Dewey and her Aunt Candy Midgley.
Arrangements are with TR Jetty Funeral Home, Clayton. A private burial service at Grove Cemetery in LaFargeville will be held at the family’s discretion. Donations in her honor may be made to the Grove Cemetery Association or the Jefferson County SPCA.

I only knew Jess through George Dewey postings on Facebook. Everyday, like hundreds of others of George’s FB friends, we would eagerly await the latest postings. Through her George Dewey postings, we got to know Jess, her love of sports, solar toys, and movies on the Disney Channel. We also learned of her myriad health issues, including an alarming diagnosis that was life threatening. She often lamented that “Why doesn’t life give me a break?” Speaking for her friends in the FB community, her passing has been exceptionally hard to take. We all felt like we knew her. We were always rooting for her. And now she’s gone, and we’re all the worse off for it. I send my sincerest condolences to her family.

I knew Jess and (her cat) George through their delightful, kind, warm, loving posts on Facebook. Jess and George have been important parts of our little Facebook animal lover’s community for many years now. Their posts were always uplifting and gentle, filled with kindness and love. We are all heartbroken to have learned that Jess has passed. I would like all who read this to know that she and her little buddy, George, have made the world a much better place for so many of us. She touched many, many lives through FB. Jess, I hope you are at the Rainbow Bridge, with the fur kids you’ve ever known who’ve preceded you. Know that you made a real difference in people’s lives, just by being you.

Well said, David. She left a mark on this world. Let’s not forget it.

Oh Jess…for so many years we were good friends. My world will be so sad without you in it. What a gentle and kind loving soul you were. Heaven surely gained another Angel. Rest in Peace my beautiful, sweet friend.

I met Jess and her beloved George on FaceBook. I loved her daily post! Her love for her family, pets and The NY Yankees was present in her FB post. Even though I never met Jess or George in person I felt like I knew them. Please know that I’m praying for the family! This is a major loss!!

To Jess’s family, I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Jess and George through the cat community on Facebook. We have all become a little family who care about the animals but also the humans who stand with them. I prayed Jess would get better and I was completely shattered hearing of her passing. Please know so many cared for Jessica and her presence will be missed

Jess Dewey, I will never forget you and George. I hope you knew that your friendship to all of your FB friends meant so much to us. Your posts made us all smile. You shared your cat, George, with us. I thought it was so special that you shared pictures of him with each card, letter and gift he received from FB friends over the years. Your passing broke my heart and I hope George will be strong and adjust to his new life. I will miss seeing him and hope his profile page comes back so we can look back on the memories. Rest easy Jess and know that you and George are loved and will be greatly missed.
Carol
