Jennifer Heisley Obituary

Jennifer Heisley

Jennifer Beth Heisley went to meet her Lord and Savior on November 29, 2021. Jennifer was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, March 17, 1975, and it is where she continued to live her entire life.

She attended Jenks Public Schools from elementary through high school, where she excelled in tennis and soccer. She then earned her Bachelor's degree from Tulsa Community College.

Jennifer or "JB" was loved and cherished by all those that were fortunate enough to cross her path. She had a vibrant, outgoing, and infectious personality that will be missed and never forgotten. She could light up a room and always kept people guessing as to what she might say next. She made her mark on Earth, and God has called her home.

Jennifer began her career with the Tulsa County Sheriff's Department where she held several positions over 20 years, most notably assisting the youth and first-time offenders, working passionately and tirelessly to better others' lives.

She then found her calling at John Christner Trucking, where she treasured her time the past several years. The meaningful relationships Jennifer formed at JCT have become a second family to her. She took great pride in her drivers and guiding them home safely.

Jennifer was preceded in death by her parents, Dick Heisley and Marie Heisley Drummond; and step-father, Tom Drummond. She is survived by her brother, Matthew Heisley, of Dallas, TX, and his wife, Teresa Heisley and their three children, Drummond, Harrison, and Sutton; She is also survived by her other siblings, Kim, Holly, and Thatcher Drummond.

A memorial service will be held at Church of St. Mary on Friday, December 3, at 2:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the American Breast Cancer Foundation, the American Heart Association, or Church of St. Mary.

I met Jennifer when she was 19 years old. I considered her my beat friend, and will miss her more than words can describe, just as everyone who really knew her. My relationship with Jennifer was unique, to say the least. She literally said to my rescue dog, Sydney, I love you more than life itself. Sydney stares out the front window, waiting for Jennifer to pull up, and has done so, daily since her passing. I will miss her more than words can say. God´s speed Jenn, we all love you and will continue to cherish the memories we have all shared.

Jennifer was a student early on in my career at TCC and I think it is safe to say that she made an impact on me and taught me more than I thought her.

I first met Jen when i was a Sophomore in H.S. I was working at a tennis club at the time know as Tulsa Southern. She was always there to make us laugh!! As the years went by we would run into each other from time to time and nothing ever changed. She would come into my work and all the sudden you would here her (very loudly) HEY SUPERBOWL what are you up to?? I would just laugh and give her a big hug. I will miss you Jen and condolences to her family.
