Jessica Lynn was born on September 22, 2005 in Faribault to Dennis and Susan (Wegner) Jandro. She currently was a 3rd grade student at Jefferson Elementary School. Jess was a spirited girl with a huge heart and loaded with pizazz!! She always put others first, gave the most lovable hugs, and had a memorable laugh. Jess was a rule follower and made sure others did also. She loved to dance with Studio of Stars, where she was quite the leader, and enjoyed playing basketball and gymnastics. She and her family had many special times camping. She liked fishing, playing with dogs, and spending time with her BFF Jersey dressing up in high heels and a feather boa. She and her Grandpas often played games together, with Jess winning many times. Jess was given nicknames by her family such as, "Jelly Bean", "Beaner", "Sweet Pea", and "Princess".

She will be deeply missed by her parents, Denny and Sue Jandro, and her brothers, Ryan and Isaac Jandro; her maternal grandparents, Marlin and Phyllis Wegner; paternal grandparents, David and Maxine Jandro; aunts and uncles, Nancy (Gerry) Berberick, Kristi (Doug) Picken, Julie (Tim) Donahue, Laurie (Paul) Matejcek, Brenda (Travis) Beaupre, Tim (Claudia) Jandro, Nancy (Pat) Bauer, and Molly (Jake) Bice; her many cousins; her BFF and "sister", Jersey Hausen; and many other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her great grandparents.

Memorials may be directed to her family for a dance scholarship in memory of Jess.

An unwrapped toy or stuffed animal can be brought to the visitation or funeral for the family to donate to an organization with children in need.
