Her commitment to her work was evident to all who had the pleasure of collaborating with her. Tessa's attention to detail and exceptional organizational skills made her an invaluable asset to the company.

Beyond her professional achievements, Tessa's true legacy rests in the lives she touched and the relationships she cherished. She was a loving daughter to Gina Hofer of Clarksville, OH. Tessa shared a deep bond with her maternal grandparents, James Lee and Kay Hofer of Clarksville. They provided love and guidance throughout her life that shaped her into the remarkable person she became.

Tessa also found companionship in Ricky Jones of Blanchester; their special connection brought tremendous joy to both their lives. Their friendship was marked by laughter, shared experiences, and unwavering support. Ricky stood by Tessa through thick and thin, forming a powerful bond that will endure as his everlasting tribute to their cherished memories.

Additionally, Tessa leaves behind several aunts, uncles & cousins who will cherish the moments they shared together. Their collective memories of laughter-filled family gatherings will be treasured as a testament to Tessa's ability to bring people together.
