On June 14th, 2023, Jessie Furrer entered into eternity at 90 years of age surrounded by her loved ones. She suffered from a prolonged battle with Alzheimer's, but passed peacefully with the loving and caring assistance of Hospice Home Care. She was born to Harve and Mary Whitmore on December 11th, 1932, in Little Rock where she went on to live the majority of her life. At age 15, she married Eldon "Chick" Furrer on July 6th, 1948, and together they had four beautiful children. Jessie was a loving mother, skilled southern cook, and talented quilter. Family was the light of her life; nothing brought her more joy than spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Among other hobbies, she loved gardening and fishing with the boys and shopping and cooking with her daughters. She was a woman with a strong faith and always seemed to find joy in God's beauty. She was a stranger to none, and her smile was contagious. Jessie lived a long life, one full of happiness, thankfulness and love; she will be dearly missed by her family and friends.
