It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Edita Jurisic, who left us far too soon on January 16, 2025, at the age of 38, in Mechanicsburg, PA. Edita was a devoted mother, loving partner, cherished daughter, and dear friend to many. Her unexpected loss leaves a profound void in the lives of all who knew her.
Born in Doboj, Bosnia, Edita was a woman of extraordinary resilience, grace, and love. She approached life with unwavering strength, and her bright spirit shone through in everything she did. Edita pursued her education with passion, earning her Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting from Central Pennsylvania College and a Master’s in Business Administration from Argosy University. Her professional accomplishments as an Executive Accountant reflected her sharp intellect, dedication, and exceptional work ethic, but her true joy came from her family.
Edita’s greatest pride and joy was her role as a mother to her two sons, Matej (5) and Nikola (1). She embraced motherhood with an abundance of love and care, nurturing her boys with unwavering devotion and filling their lives with laughter, warmth, and happiness. Alongside Jason Yesser, her partner and the love of her life, Edita created a home where love and memories flourished. Together, they built a life filled with shared dreams and happiness, with Edita at the heart of it all.
A lover of life and adventure, Edita had a passion for exploring new cultures and experiencing the beauty of the world. She relished traveling and discovering new places, always seeking to broaden her horizons. Her impeccable sense of style and love for fashion were expressions of her vibrant personality, and she enjoyed shopping as a way to express herself. In addition to her professional and personal achievements, Edita had a distinguished career in pageantry, having been crowned Miss Earth Air at Miss USA Earth. She later pursued her modeling aspirations with Model Management Group USA, leaving a lasting impression in the industry.
Proud of her Balkan heritage, Edita was fluent in Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, and English. She cherished her roots while embracing her life in the United States, always eager to share her culture and experiences with others. Edita’s adventurous spirit and open heart made her a beautiful soul to be around, and her impact on everyone she met was immeasurable.
Edita is survived by her loving parents, Petra and Miroslav Jurisic, who raised her with the values of hard work and compassion; her devoted partner and fiancé, Jason Yesser; and her beloved sons, Matej and Nikola, who will carry forward her legacy of love, strength, and resilience.
Her family and friends will always remember Edita for her infectious smile, her boundless energy, and her unwavering love for those she held dear. Her departure leaves an irreplaceable void, but the memories of her warmth, kindness, and joy will continue to inspire those who were lucky enough to know her.
