Jessica Carol

Gonzales

JJessica C. Gonzalez was born on January 26, 1982 in Toledo Ohio to Joyce Ibarra and Darreyl Glover.

Jessica graduated from Bowser high School in 2001 and began her career as a STNA and later worked at hospice (which only goes to show the type of heart she had).

Her caring heart had no bounds. With her medical skills and the love she carried, she was instrumental in helping care for my mother, (Betty Foulkes), before she passed. Jessica had many passions. She was a licensed bartender, and more recently she became a licensed esthetician with plans to open her own shop, something she was truly excited about. She worked at Chili's, where she was loved by her coworkers and will be deeply missed.

Jessica was loyal and trustworthy, with a sense of humor that could brighten any room. She loved spending time me with her family, especially her kids Mariah (12), Maraya (10), and Micah (8) Foulkes, who were the center of her world.

From the best birthday parties to showing up at every practice and event, she always wanted to make sure the kids had the very best. Even after she passed, presents were still arriving at the house for Christmas—because she was always thinking ahead, always planning for them.

We loved taking the kids to Cedar Point, and Disneyland was probably one of our favorite trips as a family. She took the kids to the movies ayntime me something Marvel came out—didn't matter what it was, she was there with them, popcorn in hand.

Jessica loved going to the Funny Bone and the Fox Theatre for comedy shows. From D.L. Hughley to Dick Gregory, we saw them all. She also loved a good steak and lobster tail dinner. And the concerts—Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Drake—too many to name. One of her favorites was in Detroit at Chene Park: Erykah Badu and Nas, outside on the water at sunset. That was a great night.

She loved walks on the beach. We walked Daytona Beach, Cedar Point Beach, and Venice Beach. But she loved L.A. most of all. They rode us on bikes through the sand, and we even got massages on the beach. It was a crazy weekend—one of those memories that sticks with you

forever.

She was always ready to hit the road and find someplace new. She had so many dreams, and she was chasing every one of them. Never complacent, never settling.

Twenty-five years together… it's crazy to think about, and I'm going to miss her more than words can say. She was taken from us suddenly on December 17th, 2025.

She was preceded in death by her Grandmother and Grandfather Ibarra, her Grandmother Noledo & Grandfather Cliffard Glover, Mother in Love Betty Foulkes, Cousin Jerome Saxton, Cousin Latoya Overton and a host of aunts, uncles and cousins.
