Jessica Dawn Teague, 43, of Taylorsville, N.C., passed away at home on September 8, 2024. Jessica was born on August 15, 1981, in Statesville, N.C., to Nicus Hamrick Jr. and Janet Herman Hamrick.

Jessica is survived by her parents; a daughter, Haley Echevarria-Morrise (Richard); and her son, Dawson Smith; her sister, Crystal Richardson (Travis); a niece and nephew, Kaitlynn Richardson and Landon Richardson; and Aunt Martha Beam (Mark). Her grandparents on both sides preceded her in death.

Jessica lived a life to the fullest. She never met a stranger and was always lending a helping hand. Her kind heart and caring way that she showed her family and friends are without measure. She loved taking her kids and anyone that would go with her to charitable events, Carowinds, West Iredell pools, and to church. She attended Clear View Missionary Baptist Church. Jessica loved God and loved to share his word with anyone that would listen. Jessica would also visit other churches as well. She will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her.

Jessica worked a correctional officer, and her last job was at the Shell convenience store on Highway 115 for six years. She loved her job and customers. Mr. Shaw, her boss, was like family. She enjoyed talking and getting to know the people that came into the store. She never met a stranger!

A memorial service was held on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Clear View Missionary Baptist Church at 180 S. Lackey Street, Statesville, NC 28677. Rev Mike Dufault and Keith Bills will officiate her service. We wanted to thank everyone that showed up and showed support for Jessica and her family.

Nicholson Funeral Home is honored to serve the Teague family.
