Jessica Hardin Bonds Boelte<\/strong>, 51, died Thursday, December 31, 2020, in Austin, Texas<\/strong>. A private graveside service will be held in Oxford Memorial Cemetery<\/strong> with Rev. Robert Allen<\/strong> and Rev. Barry Sneed<\/strong> officiating.

Jessica was born on April 13, 1969 in Oxford, Mississippi<\/strong> to the late Eddie<\/strong> and Ava Hardin Bonds<\/strong>. She was a 1987 graduate of Oxford High School<\/strong>. Her classmates recall her as inclusive, open, and accepting of everyone. Jessica continued her education at the University of Mississippi<\/strong> where she earned her BA in 1992 and her Masters in 1996. She was a talented dancer and earned a spot performing for the Rebels<\/strong> as an Ole Miss Rebelette<\/strong>. Her family finds comfort remembering her heart of gold that selflessly embraced others and that she lived an unapologetically authentic life. Jessica\u2019s lifelong pursuit to inspire others led her to form a campaign for suicide prevention and to support those battling depression.\u00a0 From her home in New Orleans<\/strong>, she spread the encouraging but simple message of \u201cYou Matter\u201d.\u00a0 Her beauty was soul-deep, her laugh was infectious and the impact she had on others was immeasurable. Above all, Jessica was a devoted mother who found her greatest joy in her family, three sons and new granddaughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is survived by her sons, Dr. Charles Edward \u201cCody\u201d Hill<\/strong>, III and his wife, Hannah <\/strong>of Austin, Texas, John Edwin Boelte<\/strong>, IV of Metairie, Louisiana<\/strong> and Jacob Dean Boelte<\/strong> of Metairie<\/strong>, Louisiana; her sister, Halon Gossett<\/strong> and her husband, Ken <\/strong>of Oxford; her brother, Bubba Bonds<\/strong> and his wife, Natalie <\/strong>of Nashville, Tennessee<\/strong>; a precious granddaughter, Ava Carol Hill<\/strong> of Austin, Texas; three nieces, Hannah Gossett<\/strong> and Mary Kendale Gossett<\/strong> both of Oxford and Grayson Bonds<\/strong> of Nashville, Tennessee and one nephew, Brayden Bonds<\/strong> of Nashville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jessica actively supported the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline<\/strong>. Memorial contributions in her memory may be made via\u00a0https:\/\/suicidepreventionlifeline.org\/donate\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
