Jessica Jane Doubet

Jessica Jane Doubet, 66, passed from this life to her heavenly home on Wednesday, November 12, 2025. She was born on August 14, 1959, to Russell and Kathleen Doubet. She was preceded in death by both of her parents. She is survived by her sisters: Janice (Tom) Mahr, Jeanine (Johnny) Campos, and Julie Doubet; nieces: Melissa (Dan) Hamilton and Amanda Campos; nephews: Rod (Megan) Mahr, Randy (Angela) Mahr, and Andre Campos; great-nieces: Savonia Mahr-Threw, Kenley Mahr, Kessaley Mahr, and Ava Mahr; and great-nephew: Gannon Hamilton. Jessica was the fourth of four daughters born into a dairy farming family and enjoyed being the youngest. She loved the outdoors and playing with her dolls. She attended Smithville and Logan grade schools, where she was a cheerleader and played the flute, and later graduated from Farmington High School, where she made many lifelong friends. After high school, she worked at John Hancock Insurance Company and lived with her sister Julie in Peoria. On November 10, 1979, at age 20, Jessica’s life changed following an automobile accident caused by a drunk driver, resulting in a traumatic brain injury. After a year of hospitalization and therapy, she returned to the family farm, supported by the dedicated care of her mother, family, and friends. Jessica continued therapy, volunteer activities, and an adult education program for many years. At home, Jessica stayed active and engaged. She took twice-daily walks with the farm cats, organized and labeled many family photo albums, wrote letters to friends, and created beautiful fabric calendar pieces adorned with thousands of sequins. Each one was truly a labor of love. Jessica cherished time with family and friends. She attended church each Sunday and enjoyed reunions and birthday gatherings with her special group of high school friends. She was always grateful for those who visited or took her on outings. She was a Chicago Bears fan, especially of Walter Payton, and always requested a bingo card with the number 34. She loved coordinating her clothing and accessories and delighted in dressing for each holiday. Jessica’s friendly nature, humor, and candid sometimes inappropriate comments were well-known and loved by all who knew her. Though aware of the joys she was unable to share due to her injuries, Jessica rarely complained. She believed the Lord had a purpose for her life and sought to honor Him. In her final days, she was ready to go home to heaven. Cremation rites have been accorded. Visitation will take place on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at Hanna City Presbyterian Church, from 1:00 p.m. until the time of service at 2:00 p.m. Interment will be private. Memorials can be made to Limestone Cemetery, C/O Robert Borland, 7219 W Farmington Road, Peoria, IL 61604. To leave condolences, please visit www.schmidthaller.com
