Influencer Jessica Pettway watched kids cry for her as she was taken away in ambulance months before cancer death at 36
A beloved beauty influencer and mother of two tragically passed away from cancer after enduring years of misdiagnoses. Jessica Pettway, aged 36, had candidly shared her journey, shedding light on the toll her hospital visits took on her family.
Her sister, Reyni Brown, confirmed Pettway's passing on March 13, expressing profound grief and describing her sister as amazing, strong, and wise. Pettway's insights had even helped Brown become a better mother.
Brown lamented the loss of Pettway's infectious laugh, playful pranks, and witty jokes, highlighting the irreplaceable bond they shared as siblings.
Pettway had garnered a substantial following on social media, focusing on lifestyle content ranging from hair and fashion to beauty. She often featured her husband and daughters, who also gained significant followings of their own.
In recent years, Pettway's posting became irregular, prompting concern from fans. In July 2023, she revealed her cancer diagnosis after a harrowing incident of intense bleeding in July 2022, initially misdiagnosed as fibroids.
Despite treatments and struggles, Pettway remained optimistic, sharing poignant moments of her family coping with her illness. Her daughters' innocent questions about her absence and ambulance rides deeply affected her and her husband.
In a heartfelt post, Pettway spoke of their resilience and faith in healing. However, her condition deteriorated, leading to a decision to move back to Georgia to be with her family. This announcement marked her final Instagram post.
Pettway passed away on March 11 in a hospice facility in Griffin, Georgia, surrounded by loved ones, leaving behind a legacy of strength, love, and courage in the face of adversity.
