The sudden passing of Jessica Castellanos, the 36-year-old emergency department nurse, has left the Naperville community in disarray.
Jessica was an ever-loving, kind, and compassionate soul, and her passing has left those who were close to her, including family, friends, and even colleagues, shocked.
She was a devoted single mother who loved her job and was well-known for her composure, even in life-and-death situations.
She was always a comforting hand to even patients in the ER.
Outside her career, she was committed to helping others and was always the loyal friend who helped make people despite going through some tough times.
Tributes from loved ones suggest she was having a private battle with mental health struggles and are still recalling her bubbly personality, and urging others to seek help when life gets too tough to handle.
A fundraiser on GoFundMe has been organized in her name, by her sister, Crystal Castellanos, to help the family with funeral arrangements and her son, who has just lost his mother.
At the time of writing this article, a total of 16,598 USD has been raised out of the 18k USD goal set.
