Obituary for Vanessa S Gooch
Vanessa Stewart Gooch was born on August 6th 1956 in Roxboro, North Carolina to the late Barbara Jay & Graves Davis, but was raised by Bobby Jay. She was oldest of several children including Sandra Jay, Phyllis Jay, Dana Jay, Lydia Jay, Chester Clemins, and Judy Jordan, as well as the late Bobby Jay "Humboo".
The family moved to Brooklyn, NY where Vanessa attended Eli Whitney High School and was entered into the nursing program. Vanessa received her Nursing Degree at Queensboro Community College.
She then met her husband Howard "Howie" Gooch in her travels while with her sister. During her marriage to Howard they had three children Crystal, Anthony, & Tiffany, who they raised in Queens Village, NY.
Vanessa was a hard working nurse who really enjoyed her career. In her spare time, she enjoyed going to the Mohegan Sun and spending time with her family. She especially loved spending time with her granddaughter Kimora. She loved her a cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee, watching wrestling and soap operas, but most of all, she enjoyed being an amazing wife, mother, and grandmother.
Vanessa leave precious memories to: her husband Howard, three children Crystal, Anthony (Jullian Gooch), and Tiffany (Marc Desir Sr.); one granddaughter, Kimora Vanessa Pearson; one grandson, Marc Howard Desir Jr.; nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of other relatives and dear friends.
