Jessica Nicole Duran
Our sister, Jessica Nicole Duran has found eternal peace on March 14, 2021. Jessica was born in Milwaukee December 6, 1988. At the tender age of 18 months old Jessica and our mother Geraldine K Duran had started a beautiful and strong bond through fostering which was consummated by adoption when Jessica was eight years old. At that point Jessica became our sister. She is survived by her siblings, James A Duran (Wanda), Debra L Movroydis (John) and Michael F Duran and her many nephews and nieces. Jessica and her niece Erica J Groff in many ways grew up together and experienced so many wonderful childhood memories. Even though technically Jessica was her auntie they were only eight years apart. Erica will dearly miss Auntie Jessica from those important years of her childhood and the fun they had growing up with mom/nana.
Jessica was a religious journal keeper. Always writing, always drawing and always thinking. Her artwork was beautiful and whimsical. She loved to read and she read everything, especially stories of medieval and epic fantasies and things that would take you away. She loved a good taco salad and to just go and take the bus and walk everywhere she could. She knew Milwaukee so well. Unfortunately Jessica had suffered for many years from some form of mental health issues which revealed itself when she was in her early teens. Our family had struggled with this and for her for many years, sadly the struggle and the fight is over.
“We all love you Jessica so very much and we will find comfort in knowing that you have finally found the peace that you were looking for.”
Private services will be held.
Did not know her but Debra is my friend so we send our sympathies to the family. May she Rest In Peace.
Sending out condolences Deb and family.

Jessica is my cousin, she lived with us for a while. Our family just found this. We were searching for her because she would come by our house frequently. We knew something was wrong, but no one had a way to contact her. We loved her very much & spent a good amount of time with her. We had no idea. We filed reports. Police said nothing. We did a random Google search tonight & found THE WORST NEWS. We are devastated.
How has a month gone by without her biological family- whom she was raised with- notified of her passing?
Jessie is my biological cousin. I remember her as being the first little baby that I fell in love with when I was 5 years old. I loved playing games and pranks on her and her (biological) sister. She was beautiful, funny, sassy and clever. I know she struggled more than anyone should, due to her mental illness.
Deedee,
I’m sorry it’s been so long since I told you that I love you. I know you remember what I told you long, long ago❤️. I wish life would have held love, joy and peace for you unmeasurably, that you would have never suffered. I thank God for his mercy, compassion and grace, because I know you are filled now. May your cup always runeth over. I pray that He has put aside an extra special mansion for you, and that we all who love you will be able to come over to visit with you again when our day has come.
Peace and love eternally, Jessie.
Could someone please post if and where she is buried I would really appreciate it
I miss her so much I can’t breathe My little sister was my best friend. I feel like the world is speaking a language I don’t understand and nothing makes any sense. When I was just a kid I got her name tattooed on my back because I couldn’t think of anything else I’d always love.. I keep erasing my thoughts and rewriting this there aren’t words to describe the void im left with……I know I should write something poetic ( Sarah yours was very well stated) but I can’t stop sobbing I feel like a pretzel
Rest in peace little sister. Until we meet again in the Afterlife. Your Big brother Michael…♥️💐
