Jessica Erin Lane Coleman was born on January 26, 1988, in Lexington, Kentucky, and passed away peacefully on March 13, 2024, at the young age of 36. Though her time in this world was shorter than many, the impact she left behind was deep and unforgettable.
Jessica was a beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, and above all, a faithful woman of God. She had a heart full of kindness and joy that touched everyone she met.
Her Early Life and Upbringing
Jessica was born to Tony and Rhonda Baker Lane, loving parents who raised her with strong values, deep faith, and a lot of love. From her childhood, Jessica was full of energy, creativity, and care for others. She grew up in a home where kindness and faith were a daily part of life.
She attended local schools in Kentucky and always stood out for her friendly nature and helpful attitude. Teachers and classmates often said that Jessica was someone you could always count on — a true light in any room.
Marriage and Family
Later in life, Jessica married Kyle Coleman, the love of her life. Their bond was more than just a partnership — it was a strong, spiritual connection based on love, respect, and shared faith in Jesus Christ.
Together, they had two beautiful daughters:
- Makenna Kaye Coleman
- Mia Coleman
Jessica loved being a mom more than anything else in the world. Her daughters were her pride and joy. She was always present for them — from school events to bedtime stories, hugs, and prayers.
She built a home that was filled with warmth, laughter, and deep faith. Friends and neighbors often spoke about the strong love that Jessica and Kyle shared, and how it created a peaceful, welcoming environment for everyone around them.
A Woman of Deep Faith
Jessica wasn’t just a believer — she lived her faith every day. She truly embodied what it meant to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. People described her as someone who always carried “Jesus Joy” in her heart.
She was an active member of her church and participated in many church activities. Whether it was singing in the choir, volunteering at events, or comforting someone who was going through a hard time — Jessica was always there.
She had a gentle, listening heart. Many people shared how one talk with Jessica could lift their spirits. Her faith wasn’t just for Sunday — she practiced it in her words, her actions, and the way she loved others.
Her Personality and Legacy
Jessica was known for being:
- Kind and generous
- Always smiling
- A great listener
- Supportive of others
- Full of love for family, friends, and God
She had a warm, beautiful smile that made everyone feel welcome. She was the kind of person who would notice if you were having a bad day — and do something sweet to cheer you up.
Her house was often filled with music, cooking, and laughter. She made every holiday special, every family moment meaningful, and every friendship stronger.
Her Final Days
Jessica faced her final days with strength, peace, and grace. Even in the moments of illness or weakness, she remained strong in her faith. She found comfort in the presence of her family, her husband, her children, and her deep relationship with God.
Her passing was peaceful, and those around her say it was as if angels came to carry her home.
The Funeral
Her funeral service was held on March 20, 2024, at Sand Springs Baptist Church in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. The church was full of people — friends, family, neighbors, church members, and even strangers who had once been touched by Jessica’s kindness.
Tears flowed freely, but there was also a strong feeling of peace in the room. People remembered Jessica not with sadness, but with deep respect and love. There were stories shared, songs sung, and prayers offered in her memory.
Jessica was laid to rest at Rose Crest Cemetery in Versailles, Kentucky — a peaceful resting place for someone whose life was so beautifully lived.
What She Leaves Behind
Jessica leaves behind a powerful legacy. She taught us all how to:
- Love deeply
- Live joyfully
- Serve faithfully
- Trust God fully
She left behind her loving husband Kyle, and two daughters Makenna and Mia, who will continue to carry her light and love. She also leaves behind her parents, siblings, extended family, and a huge circle of friends who will forever remember her as a beautiful soul.
Her Faith Lives On
Jessica always said that her greatest joy came from knowing Jesus and helping others feel His love. Even though she is no longer with us in person, her spirit lives on in the way she loved others, in the faith she shared, and in the memories that will never fade.
As her church family put it best —
“Jessica didn’t just talk about Jesus. She walked with Him. And now, she walks with Him forever.”
A Favorite Verse
One of Jessica’s favorite Bible verses was:
Philippians 4:13 – “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
She lived those words every single day.
A Life to Celebrate
Yes, we mourn Jessica. Yes, we miss her deeply. But most of all — we celebrate her. We celebrate the love she gave, the faith she showed, and the way she made the world a better place just by being in it.
If Jessica were here, she’d probably tell us to smile, take care of each other, trust in God, and keep going with strength. She would want her daughters to live full, happy lives. She would want her husband to stay strong and keep walking in faith.
In Closing
Jessica Erin Lane Coleman may no longer be on this earth, but her presence is still felt — in every hug, every kind word, every act of love, and every prayer.
Her story is not one of loss, but of love, hope, and eternal life.
We will never forget her.
Final Tribute

Thank you for showing us how to love without limits, to believe without fear, and to smile even when life is hard.
We will carry your memory in our hearts forever.
