Janessa JoAnn Fleming, or JJ as she often liked to be called, was a beautiful person who was an angel among us who lived life to the fullest. She enjoyed spending time with her family, playing basketball, snowboarding, painting, and she had a deep passion for animals. Always equipped with a smile, she could befriend anyone in a matter of minutes. She strived to help others whenever she could and was pursuing a career in which she could continue to have a positive impact on other people's lives.

The Janessa Fleming Memorial Fund's goal is to continue to carry on that loving and caring spirit that made Janessa so easy to love.
