A Life Well-Lived Jessica Meza Newton was born to Marlene Meza and Enrique Hernandez on August 14, 1983 in Chicago, Illinois. She transitioned to her heavenly home on May 11, 2019. Though her life on earth was brief, it was extraordinary, purposeful, and impactful. Generous, passionate, radiant, classy, smart, strong, and gorgeous are a few of the words that can be used to describe Jessica. She was a beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, business woman, and friend. Nothing brought her greater joy than spending time with her family. She was an exemplary wife and mother who took great pleasure in creating a beautiful, peaceful, and loving home for her husband and children. Her love, passion, creativity, and positive energy could be felt in every detail and room. A true Proverbs 31 woman, Jessica was a successful Business Partner and Owner Operator of Orbital Services (aka Buffer) who also gave her children kisses every morning and never missed a day picking them up from school. She enjoyed traveling with her family and was intentional about planning both family trips and get-aways with her husband who she adored. Additionally, she was an extraordinary daughter who honored her mother, who she also considered her best friend. Jessica was a woman of prayer and faith. She accepted Christ and was baptized at an early age. She was also a philanthropist (The Givers) who enjoyed sharing her blessings with others. She lived an abundant and beautifully full life and planted a powerful legacy of passion, faith, honesty, charity, and true positivity amongst all of us. Beautiful memories of Jessica will be cherished by her husband and soulmate, Anthony Newton, Jr.; 3 children, Daniel Anthony Lucas, Devan Anthony Lucas, and Arrabella Anthony Newton; 2 bonus sons, Landon Anthony Newton and Blake Anthony Newton; mother and best friend, Marlene Meza; father, Enrique Hernandez; loving siblings, Crystal Angeles and Marco Angeles; nieces, Eliana and Faye Angeles; aunts, uncles, cousins; and an amazing-loving host of extended family members and friends. A true servant’s heart and a joy to be around, Jessica is dearly missed yet continues to inspire the world through those who meant the world to her. Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her: “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!” Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised. Proverbs 31:28-30
