Nessy was a 2019 graduate Greater Johnstown High School. She will be remembered as a kind, beautiful soul who had a way of making you laugh with her childlike sense of humor. She taught us all to see the world through a child’s eyes and to not take life so seriously. She left a mark on all of our hearts and will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her. She loved listening to country music especially Luke Bryan, spending time with her family, especially with her Grandma Lori. Some of her favorite songs were Waves by Luke Bryan, Heaven by Kane Brown and In My Daughter’s Eyes by Martina McBride. She loved animals especially grandma’s cat, pumpkin, and she loved helping people in whatever way she could. Nessy had a smile that could light up a room and if you had a bad day, that smile took it away!

Memorial service will be held at 10 a.m.. Saturday, September 26, 2026 at Greater Johnstown Christian Fellowship with Pastor James Gay officiating.

The family is being served by Harris Funeral Home, 500 Cherry Lane, Richland. Online condolences may be posted at www.wharrisfuneralhome.com.

Vanessa's family is very thankful and glad that she was able to be a CORE donor and help multiple people--young and old with her donation. Through them, she lives on.....
