Jessica graduated from Evan E. Worthing High School in 1988 and University of Houston where she received a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. She was a member of Silverlake Church, a Team Mom for Pearland Hurricanes Little League and Vice-President of the Nolan Ryan Athletic Booster Club. She loved socializing with friends and family, playing cards and cheering for Payton Manning. Weekends were joyfully spent with a house full of kids, running, playing and having nothing but fun, fun, and more fun. Jessica was very supportive of her son, Sean, and was his #1 fan. No matter what sport he was in, you could scan the crowd, most often finding her on the front row, and see her smiling face, beaming with pride. She held a special place in her heart for her beloved baby, Smokii, her “dog.”

She was preceded in death by her son, Billy Sean Dykes, Jr and mother-in-law, Rita Dykes.
