Jessica L Feathers
On Thursday, February 19, 2026, with loved ones at her bedside, Jessica passed peacefully from her earthly home. Jessica is now in the presence of her Lord and Savior and has been reunited in heaven with the loved ones who have gone before her. What a celebration that must have been!
Jessica was born on January 18, 1983, to Douglas and Kimber Lee (Allen) Vaundry. On June 5, 2004, Jessica was united in marriage to Jason C. Feathers.
In addition to her “awesome” husband Jason, Jessica is survived by her daughters, Mackenzie Lee, Teagan Marie, Skylee Jo and Emery Jae. Also left to cherish her memory are her parents; sisters, Molly (Adam) Chenoweth and Kaleigh (Richard) Stradtner; in-laws, Lori and Jim DeBuano, Greg Feathers; sister-in-law, Elizabeth (Feathers) Vandemark; five nieces; two nephews; one great niece; one great nephew; grandfather-in-“love”, David Cook; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins; and many, many close friends.
Jessica was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Charles C. and Doris J. (Wade) Allen; paternal grandparents, Gordon A. and Rita M. (McEntee) Vaundry; grandparents-in-law, Margrett (Townsend) Cook; Ralph Feathers, and Joyce Vogel; and brother-in-law, Justin Feathers.
After graduating from New Prairie High School in 2001, Jessica attended Ancilla College for two years on a basketball scholarship. She went on to receive a degree in Elementary Education from Indiana University (South Bend campus).
Jessica taught at Olive, Prairie View and Rolling Prairie Elementary Schools in the New Prairie United School Corporation, the Hebrew Day School in South Bend and finished her teaching career at Bremen Elementary School. She also served as Director of Cornerstone Preschool in New Carlisle for several years. Jessica had a way of making each student feel special. No matter where she went, current and former students would call out to her, “Hi, Mrs. Feathers” and run up to give her a hug.
Jessica coached track and field, summer league softball for her daughter’s teams and for numerous basketball teams which included the 2020 Bremen High School girls varsity sectional championship team. When she was no longer able to coach, she could be seen keeping stats on the sidelines.
More than anything Jessica enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Along with Jason and their girls, there was a goal to visit the lower 48 states. To date, they have traveled to 35 states. She loved spring break trips with the Kyle family, framping (friend camping) with a large group of dear friends, weekend shopping trips with her Mom and sisters, the Cook family annual trip to the cabins in the UP, holiday celebrations with extended family - Easter dinner and egg hunts with the Allens, Thanksgiving hikes and dinners with the Vaundrys, Christmas get togethers with the McEntees and Christmas Eve at “the barn”.
The following will take place at the Community Gospel Church, 68893 State Road 331 in Bremen, IN. All times listed are eastern. Viewing will be held from 2:00 - 8:00 p.m. on Friday, February 27, 2026. and a visitation on Saturday, February 28, 2026 from 9:00 – 10:00 a.m., with a Celebration of Life service at 10:00 a.m. A brief graveside service for immediate family will follow at the Bremen Cemetery.
The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and technicians at the Goshen Center for Cancer Care for the dedicated and compassionate care they provided during Jessica’s illness. She genuinely loved you all and thought of you as family. Also, to the Center for Hospice Care for the wonderful direction and care they provided in Jessica’s last days.
At Jessica’s request, in lieu of flowers, contributions may be made directly to the Feathers family.
