Jessica Rosa Mayhew, 42, of Assonet, beloved wife of Dana Mayhew, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family on Tuesday, March 10, 2020 after a brief illness.

Born in Fall River, MA, she was a daughter of Lizete (Camara) Rosa and the late Afonso Rosa.

An alumna of Bristol Community College, she began her career there as a work-study employee in the Fiscal department advancing to various positions in Accounts Payable, Grants, and, most recently, the Payroll Department. This October would have marked Jessica's twenty-year anniversary with the college. A true DIY woman, she also loved gardening, crafting, and traveling to such places as Arizona, Bermuda, Peru, and the Azores. All who had the pleasure and honor to know her can attest to her caring and inquisitive nature, willingness to lend a helping hand, and her welcoming warm smile.

Besides her mother and her husband of eleven years, she leaves: her son, Evan A. Couto of Assonet; a sister, Jennifer M. Rosa of Fall River; and several cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews.

Due to the COVID pandemic, a private funeral service was held on Tuesday, March 17th, in our Fall River Chapel followed by her committal at St. Patrick Cemetery.
