JESSICA ELIZABETH SPLINTER "Jessie"

Our beloved daughter, Jessica Elizabeth Splinter, passed away February 2, 2011.

We were honored with the gift of her birth on November 18th, the "First Snow" of 1993 in Sandy, Utah to Stephen and Adrienne Splinter. She had a great friend in her sister, Rachel Anne.

Jessie was an active and inquisitive child who always wanted to be learning new things. She was very creative and enjoyed playing the piano, her artwork and dance. Jessie attended the Unitarian Universalist church in both Ogden and Salt Lake. She was a Girl Scout and went on many fun adventures including one to the rain forests of Costa Rica. She loved traveling with her family to many places and was always up for a road trip. She had fun at Young Women''s Girl''s Camp. She loved snow skiing and was an accomplished equestrian, loving anything to do with riding horses. Jessie was a loyal and caring friend. She was always willing to help them in their times of need.

Jessie attended Reading Elementary in Centerville, Salt Lake Arts Academy, East High School and Wasatch Canyons.

The family wishes to thank all of the outstanding care our Jessica received from Salt Lake City Emergency personnel and the staff of the University of Utah SICU and Organ Transplant teams. They are amazing in the difficult work they do. We are at peace knowing Jessie is at rest and in the arms of angels.
