JUSTICE JESSICA RODEAN. Jessica Justice OTR/L 27 of Ormond Beach FL left us unexpectedly on Thursday January 19 2012. Daughter of Linda Jeanne Justice Ormond Beach Florida and Rodney F. Johnson of Minneapolis Minnesota was born August 7 1984. Maybe this is why seven was her lucky number. What a Life!! She packed more living into her 27 years than most people do in 80.
She began her world travels at age 5 flying to Minnesota and using rail to Cincinnati. She was also a frequent visitor to Bimini a dude ranch in Montana as well as Minnesota and all the state parks of Georgia with 3-bedroom cabins sharing these trips with her mom and God-family.
After graduating Summa Cum Laude from UF (GO GATORS!!) she experienced Africa St. Louis Mexico Paris Chicago Las Vegas Cedar Rapids Iowa and Hawaii.
After graduating with a Master's Degree in Occupational Therapy at UF (GO GATORS!!) she spent 3 weeks in New Zealand and Australia.
Because of her winning and dynamic personality she was a Wing House Gal a Hooter's Girl and could sling beers with the best of them at Bike Weeks.
She returned home to a career in Occupational Therapy after passing her licence exam on her first time.
Jessie was often described as a pistol' and had such a zest for life that no one could help but love her! She was loved by not only her extended family and friends but by supervisors neighbors patients teachers customers co-workers doctors her dentist and many others she met in passing each day. Jessie loved potting plants making crafts befriending animals (at one point having 16 animals in a 1-bedroom apartment including a family of mice living her in cooking stove that she planned on making pets). She knitted skated could recite entire musical theater lyrics was an excellent masseuse loved thrifting and contributing to the Florida State Lottery.
