Jessie Vega Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Jessie Vega, 85, a lifetime resident of San Bernardino, passed away peacefully at home on October 16, 2015. She was an avid Dodgers fan who rarely missed a televised game. Even in her pain, the mention of “Dodgers” brought a smile to her face. In her youth, she worked with her family picking crops in Northern California. She often shared fond memories of these times. She kept in close contact with her childhood friends from Ramona Primary School and Alessandro Junior High and met often for luncheons. Her best memories, from her youth, included times playing with her loving siblings. She enjoyed sharing these stories with her nieces and nephews during family visits. As an adult, she worked in nursing at San Bernardino County Hospital for 35 years. Her career field was indicative of her caring nature to her loved ones. Jessie cared deeply for her many nieces and nephews. Sundays were filled with family visits at her home she shared with her sister, Carmen. For many years her family spent their Christmas Eves at her home eating homemade tamales and opening presents.

Jessie, a world traveler, enjoyed her trips to Europe, South America, and throughout the United States.
