Jane Doe's obituary -
Obituary for Jane Doe | Northcutt & Son Home for Funerals, Inc.
Jane Doe, commonly known as
"the Bridge Lady" aka Zamika Siselia Nomore," first arrived in the Morehead-Rowan County area sometime around 2009-2010. Her origins have been a mystery to all who have known her. Befriended by a few, she was a very private person and extremely independent. She often gave conflicting information about herself and was particularly protective of her identity and her privacy. In various environments, she used different names such as
"Grace," "Aisha," or "Denise." She departed this life under a bridge near Morehead on December 15, 2018.
Although most did not know "the Bridge Lady" well, she was a constant in many prayers throughout the community. During the winter months and periods of inclement weather, such as flooding, people prayed especially for her safety and her warmth. Perhaps she never imagined the range of community support and concern for her well-being.
Passersby could often spot "the Bridge Lady" on US 60 wearing her trademark black apparel, walking with a purpose and seemingly content.
She was a frequent visitor of the local food bank/ Gateway Helping Hands and Christian Social Services. Evidently, she did not care for material possessions, lived life on her terms, and did not seek or like attention.
Even though she did not want to be at the forefront of attention, "the Bridge Lady" caused people to come together to make sure she received an appropriate funeral and burial. Thank you, Mike Ockerman, for raising the funds to accomplish this goal. More than 300 people contributed to the cause. May "the Bridge Lady" be forever warm and enjoy the paradise that God has for her.

Rest in peace, Siscelia Nomore.
