Resa Lynn Ervin, 69, of Jackson, Missouri passed away Monday, 13 February 2023 at St. Francis Medical Center, after a yearlong battle with cancer - surrounded by her loving family. Born on 28 November 1953 in Fulton, Kentucky, to James H. and Martha (Lucille) Bennett. Resa's family moved to Cape Girardeau when she was three. She lived in Cape until she married Alan W. Ervin on 5 April 1970. Alan and Resa lived a full life of travel due to Alan's 24 years of service in the USAF which took them to AZ, Italy, TX, OK, back to TX, then Holland, FL and full circle back to Cape in 1998. Over the years, Resa was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. When she worked, she was in retail sales.

Resa is survived by her husband, Alan W. Ervin, her two daughters Michelle D. Edgell and Rebecca A. Holter and her two grandchildren Jacob P. Holter and Hayden R. Edgell.
