Jessica Alejandra Addanki, affectionately known as Jessy, tragically passed away on June 7, 2024, due to a ruptured aneurysm. Jessy was a woman of pure heart and strong will, deeply loved by her family, friends, and community. She was a devoted mother, wife, sister, daughter, teacher, and friend.
Her sudden death has left her family devastated, especially her two-year-old daughter, who now faces life without her loving mother. Jessy was the first-born daughter of Alma Sandoval and Jorge Reyes and was a pioneering figure in her family, becoming the first to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies from California State Los Angeles University. She dedicated her life to educating and caring for special needs students as a Special Education Paraprofessional and later as a fully certified educator in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
Jessy’s love extended beyond her immediate family and classroom. She fostered shelter dogs to prevent their euthanasia, showcasing her compassionate nature. She married Pavan Addanki in 2021, and together they had a beautiful baby girl. Her commitment to her daughter, husband, and students was unwavering, making her sudden departure all the more heartbreaking.
A GoFundMe campaign has been organized by Jasleen Reyes to support Jessy’s family in their time of need. The campaign, “Support for Jessica’s Family in Their Time of Need,” has raised $1,000 of its $40,000 goal with contributions from Melanie Perez-Baker ($800), Claudia Medina ($100), and an anonymous donor ($100).
The community has shared their grief and memories on social media. Kimmie Guzman Ramos posted, "I never imagined seeing you at my birthday party 2 weeks ago would be the last time I saw you. We texted just a day before and I never imagined this happening. It still feels like a nightmare. I know I shouldn’t question God’s plans but I’m still trying to wrap my mind around this. I just can’t. A loving mom, wife, sister, daughter, teacher, & friend. I’ll miss you amiga. Please help by donating or sharing."
Jessy’s death has left a void in the lives of those who knew her. Her family is asking for both emotional and financial support to cope with the unexpected loss. The community’s response reflects the impact Jessy had on everyone around her and the collective effort to support her family during this difficult time.
