 Jessica was born on December 24, 1932 in Sweetwater, Texas, daughter of Eladio and Leonore (Olvera) Pena.

 Jessica was witty, humble, and down to earth. In her past time she enjoyed traveling, reading, crossword puzzles, bird watching and flowers.

 She watched her news programs and followed current events and politics regularly but also enjoyed her older television programs just as much. She enjoyed going to the casino and an occasional game of chance on scratch off lottery tickets.

 Jessica was a phenomenal cook and always offered her family food as soon as they came through the door. Often saying, “Ya hungry, ya want an omlet?” and was famous for her tamales. Above all she loved her family and was very passionate about her grandchildren.

 Those left to honor her memory include her loving brother Francisco (Chuy) (Rose) Pena. Jessica’s children, Raul (Connie) Vasquez, Eduardo (Pam) Vasquez, Carlos Vasquez and Estebon Vasquez; daughter-in-law Susan Ruiz-Vasquez; grandchildren Tiffiany (Rashawnda) Hines, Heaven Vasquez, LaToya Pearson, Joie (Sean) Hoteling, Jenille (Allen) Vasquez-Christner, Danielle Vasquez, Maggie Vasquez, Juan Vasquez, Jose (Megan) Vasquez, Dylan (Jenni) Ruiz, Derek Ruiz, Austin Sountris, Kayla (Brad) Sindt, Monica Vasquez and Jessica Vasquez, Lydia (Donny) Allcock; and many great grandchildren as well as a host of wonderful nephews and nieces.
