Jessica "Marie" Bales left this life to join our Lord and Savior on Friday, February 18th 2022 due to Covid Pneumonia.
Marie was born on June 11th, 1949 in Johnson City, Tennessee to the late Fred and Velma (Carter) Bales.
Marie is survived by her children, son, Jeremy Falletta, daughter, Angela (Frederick) Lewis. Marie was a loving grandmother (aka BaBa) to her grandson, Jaron Ferguson and her 3 bonus grandchildren, Jamorrion, Skylar and Laila Lewis.
Marie also leaves to cherish her memory, brother, Frank (Marilon) Bales, her very special niece, Meredith (Shane) Smith and their son Carter, lifelong friend, Vickie Hays and family and her very close friend and traveling buddy, Brenda (Larry) Evans.
Marie was a 1967 graduate of Fairmont East High School in Kettering Ohio and continued her education at the Dayton School of Practical Nursing in Dayton Ohio. As an LPN, she served the communities in the Dayton and surrounding areas as a geriatric nurse.
Marie was a generous, giving and kind hearted free spirit who lived to give to others. She loved crafts, rescuing animals, traveling and anything adventurous. She will be missed in so many ways, her laughter, contagious smile, her tenacity, and way she loved others.
