Jessica Martel Memorial Foundation

The Jessica Martel Memorial Foundation (JMMF) was established on January 15, 2012, in response to the tragic death of Jessica Martel, a 26-year-old woman who was savagely beaten and strangled to death by her husband in Morinville, Alberta. JMMF supports individuals and families who are experiencing domestic violence with outreach programs, community education, and Jessie’s House, a 35 bed all-gender emergency shelter. Our vision is a society that does not tolerate domestic violence and a community that brings safety and hope to vulnerable individuals and families.
