Jesse is survived by Roy Markley, husband; a son Jacob Johnson; two daughters, Jada Walker and Gracie Fletcher; stepson Roy Markley, Jr. Also surviving are her brother, Jimmy Walker and sister, Amber Welles.

Jesse found great joy listening to all types of music, dancing and even writing music. Her impact will be remembered by many, that of being a tough, free-spirited rebel. While she struggled for many years, her soul is now at peace with our Lord Jesus Christ. Her legacy of toughness and fortitude will always remain with all who loved and knew her.
