Jessica Myone Widmer, 28, was taken suddenly in a tragic accident on March 16, 2018. She was born April 8, 1989 to John & Marjorie Widmer in Rangely, CO.
Jessica attended school in Rangely until the family moved to Rifle, CO during her freshman year. She blossomed in Rifle playing volleyball, basketball, and soccer; attending advanced placement classes; being inducted in to the National Honor Society; and making many (lifelong) friends. Soccer and Firefighting were Jessica’s passions. If she wasn’t running, studying, or practicing, she was at the fire department.
After high school, Jessica’s free-spirit soared. She attended three colleges, earned 2 Bachelor’s degrees, obtained her wildland fire certificate, lived in several new places, and met even more new friends.
Jessica spent a brief time in the Air Force’s Security Forces before returning to her beloved Colorado. She loved the mountains, fresh air, sunshine, fishing, and adventures. Jessica was a fierce friend who felt she cold fix anything and make anyone feel like they mattered.
Jessica was preceded in death by her great-grandfather, Francis Moore, great-grandmother, Zealtha Moore Trice, grandfather, Donald Sloan, and her adored dog, Buddy. She is survived by her parents, John & Marjorie Widmer (Rifle, CO), grandparents, Jim & Vickie Claybaugh (Rangely, CO) and Phil & Barbara Widmer (Rangely, CO) and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
Dance for her. Smile when you think of her. But… above all, LIVE in her memory and honor.
