Jesse Rose Williamson, 31, of Flagstaff passed away in her home on Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2018. Jesse was born on Jan. 1, 1987, in Flagstaff and lived most of her life in Northern Arizona.
A Celebration of Jesse’s Life will be held at 1 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 16, at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church, located at 2605 N. Fort Valley Road in Flagstaff.
Jesse will be remembered by her loving, caring nature, her infectious laugh, radiant smile and her zest for life. Her vibrant personality and sensitive heart spread immense joy in the lives of those who were lucky enough to know her. Jesse was someone who would drop whatever she was doing to give you a hug, tell you how much she cared and share a few precious moments with you. In her own wonderful way, Jesse made the world a little brighter because of her presence.
Jesse was a server and bartender at Salsa Brava at the time of her passing. She was known as “Mama Jess.” She was thoughtful, encouraging and always willing to help those around her. Her kind and generous spirit helped to create a pleasant environment at work.
Most importantly, Jesse will be remembered for her love and dedication to her three beautiful children. They were each dearly cherished and the love of her life. She appreciated all the special moments she shared with them, whether it was cuddling up watching a movie, playing at a park, hiking on a trail, or enjoying a game together. In her spare time, Jesse enjoyed crocheting, fishing, camping, spending time outdoors, and time with her children, family and friends.
She is survived by her three children, Dalylah Jo, Gracie Rose and Noah Wayne Shaffer; her parents, Pamela and Greg Beckham; Rick and Janice Williamson; brothers, Brian Beckham and Joshua Swecker; sister Jennifer Beckham; maternal grandmother, Nancy Peters; paternal grandmother, Susie Fincher; uncles, Dennis (Stephanie) Peters of Winslow, Kevin (Connie) Peters of Denver and David (Kym) Peters of Phoenix; children’s father, Evan Shaffer; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her grandfather, Wayne Peters; and cousin, Matthew Peters.
The family would like to express many thanks to her work family at Salsa Brava for the wonderful love and support they provided during this time of sorrow. They ask you to join them.
