Jessica Black

Jessica Black (née Berry), age 39, of Verona, KY, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, November 11, 2024, at her residence.

Jessica graduated from Newport High School in 2003. She went on to pursue her passion for healthcare, earning both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nursing from Northern Kentucky University. She proudly served as a Nurse Practitioner with Triad, where her patients adored her for her kind, compassionate care and unwavering dedication. She was a devoted parishioner of St. Timothy Catholic Church.

Jessica was a nurturer in every sense of the word—always there for her friends and loved ones, offering support and love whenever it was needed. She was a problem solver, whether in the kitchen, where she was known for her delicious baking, or in life, where her calm presence brought peace and resolution. A proud and devoted mother, she was fully involved in her children’s lives, attending every sporting event and dedicating countless hours as the team manager for NKY Norseman and a softball coach.

Above all, Jessica was the life of every celebration. The “Queen of the Holidays,” she had a unique way of turning every occasion into something special, bringing joy and warmth to all who were around her.

Jessica will be deeply missed by her family and friends, who cherished her infectious spirit, her boundless energy, and her loving heart.

She was preceded in death by her father, Tom Berry.
