She graduated from Benedict College in 1997 where she also became a dedicated member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. Jessica, the consummate people person, excelled at a myriad of professional positions that capitalized on her bright personality and wit.
Her real and abiding passion were her family and friends. She sought to instill in her children a zest for life, a commitment to family, and the power of a smile. Beloved wife of Kevin Campisi, devoted mother of Jazzmin Jenkins, Christen Gibson, and Kevin Campisi II she is also survived by her Grandmother, Aunts, three sisters, a host of nieces and nephews, numerous cousins as well as countless friends.
Our world is a little bit darker, but there will always be a beauty, light, and fond remembrance of a star gone too soon. “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.”

I knew Jessica Jenkins when she had my Niece, Jazzmin Jenkins, at an early age in Charleston, South Carolina, and Again in, Albany, New York. She is a beautiful and wonderful person to be around as well as also being very friendly and outgoing and Smart, She Was. She will be sorely missed by this family and also her Daughters, and her Son and Husband and Family Members and those who have never met her. Mary Sampson of Albany, New York

Jessica was a wonderful person. She had a lovely perspective on live and always made you feel as if you were special. She had a great sense of humor and an infectious laugh. When it came to work she kept us on task and on time. Most of all she loved her family and was very passionate about the importance of family. The news of her passing was difficult to hear. Her family is blessed with many great memories and I pray she has achieved her eternal reward.

Jessica was an amazing woman and a wonderful friend. Her smile lit up a room and I don’t ever remember seeing her without one. She was always concerned about others, even during her own illness. I will miss hearing her voice and her laugh while we caught up with our family’s shenanigans. I am so blessed to have had such a friend and will cherish her memory. I cannot begin to imagine what the family is going through but I will keep you all in my prayers.
