Jessica "Jessie" L. Dineen

Jessica “Jessie” Lee Dineen, 44, of Shepherd, Montana, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, February 7, 2026.

Jessie was born on July 21, 1981, in Little Falls, New York, to Brian Dineen and Michele (DeCarr) Cleary. She spent much of her childhood growing up in Buffalo, Wyoming before moving to Shepherd, Montana, where she attended and graduated from Shepherd High School.

Jessie lived a life full of curiosity, resilience, and creativity. Throughout her life she explored many hobbies, jobs, and occupations, always eager to learn something new. In recent years, she developed a strong passion for tools, repairing things, and working with her hands. She spent many hours in her mother’s shop fixing and restoring items, something she truly enjoyed.

Jessie also enjoyed her visits to her family in the Dolgeville, New York area where she formed strong bonds with her family including aunts, uncles and her many cousins. While living in New York, she worked at Pleasant Lake Inn, the Sprite Club where her infectious smile brightened everyone’s day.
