Jessie was born in Malo on June 23, 1919, to Robert and Ella Sparks.

She grew up both there and in Omak.

After moving to Spokane, Jessie met and married the love of her life Harry E. Albright in 1939.

Jessie loved to garden, read, and travel.

She impacted many lives, providing a home for foster children and acting as caregiver and companion for elderly friends.
