Jessica Nicole Helmers passed away on Jan. 8, 2026, in Las Vegas, Nev., with her family and one of her best friends by her side. Jessica Helmers was a beautiful soul whose warmth, kindness and generosity touched everyone she met. She had a rare gift for making friends wherever she went. Jessica was kind to everyone, always offering a smile, a listening ear or a helping hand.

After graduating from West Valley High School in Fairbanks, Alaska, in May 1998, Jessica started attending classes part-time at the University of Alaska Fairbanks while working part-time at the Captain Bartlett Inn. It was soon after that she applied for a job at Alaska USA FCU, now known as Global FCU. Professionally, Jessica built an impressive and respected career at Global Credit Union, and through many years of dedication, leadership and integrity, she rose to the role of Regional Vice President before retiring. She was admired not only for her professional accomplishments, but also for the way she supported and mentored others.

Jessica loved to travel and explore new places, embracing the experiences and memories that came with each journey. In her free time, she enjoyed playing softball and pool, as well as playing cards with her family - moments filled with laughter and cherished memories.

Above all, Jessica will be remembered for her loving heart, her ability to make everyone feel seen and valued, and the countless lives she touched simply by being herself.

Jessica is survived by her parents, Tom and Teri Helmers of Fairbanks; sisters; Leslie Helmers of Anchorage, Alaska, and Ashley Christenson of Fairbanks; nephews; as well as many cousins, aunts and uncles in Alaska and throughout the states.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

A Celebration of Life is planned for late May 2026, at Birch Hill Cross-Country Ski Recreation Center.
