Jamie Lea Vincent Reinhardt
Jamie Lea Vincent Reinhardt, of Elsberry, Missouri, was born on July 2, 1989 in St. Charles, Missouri.
Jamie graduated from Elsberry High School and went on to attend Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri. Sadly, she became disabled after a tragic car accident and it became difficult for her to attend school. Jamie was very creative and she loved too craft things. She shopped often and the Goodwill where she would buy things and then use her talents to re-purpose them into cool things for her home. She also liked gardening and shopping. She was kind to people and especially animals. She could often be found trying to nurse a sick or injured animal back to health. She was a wonderful mother to her fur babies-the cats that she loved like they were her children, Jack, Pooh Bear and Nikolai. They would often come to sit with her when she wasn’t feeling well, and stay with her until she felt better. In the summer she liked be in the pool. She despised being hot and kept the temperature at her house cold at all times. She loved all kinds of music, but her favorite band was Metallica. She liked to play video games, especially the Legend of Zelda with her brothers Ryan and Josh, or Mario with the rest of the family.
Most of all, Jamie loved her family and was happiest when she was giving her time and energy to them.
Jamie passed away unexpectedly at her parents home on April 23, 2017. Her unique light in this world will be dearly missed. In death, she continued to give though donation of her tissue for transplant, in hopes of saving a life (or many) with her gift.
She leaves behind to mourn her passing; her loving mother, Carla Reinhardt and stepfather Melvin McCoy of St. Peters, MO; the love of her life, Devon Fischer of Elsberry, MO; her dear brothers and sisters, Ryan ( wife Jessica) Reinhardt of Elsberry, MO, Joshua Vincent (fiance’ Cammi), Rachel Vincent (fiance’ David) and Emily Reinhardt, all of St. Peters, MO; a proud grandfather, Carl Reinhardt; great-grandmother, Ruth Munday; aunts and uncles, Christy and Mike Ridenour and Craig and Tabitha Reinhardt; her beloved nieces and nephews that meant the world to her, Jackson, Camden and Scarlett Reinhardt and Kenna Smith; and a close family friend, Devon’s mother, Trudy Conley; as well as cousins, other relatives, and many friends. Jamie was preceded in death by her grandmother, the late Carol Lea Reinhardt.
This just breaks my heart and I wish we could all just wake up and find it to be the nightmare I wish it were. Jamie didn’t even hesitate one second when I needed help with surgery and I had no one else. Helping family was like breathing to her. Which is how my family always was. Will miss her so much……
Jamie, you were such a loving, giving, dependable, quirky soul and we will miss you terribly. Loved you much darlin’ and always will. Sad that you left us way before your time!
Love Auntie Gitte, Duckie and Family
What a great loss. She was a sweetheart and I will always remember her smile. Hugs to the family!
We are deeply sorry for your loss. Though we did not have the pleasure of knowing Jamie, we are close to Ryan and Jessica. May the sweet memories you have of her bring comfort to your hearts during this difficult time. God Bless.

Jamie will be missed by many. She was beautiful, kind, thoughtful and a loving soul. My heart breaks for her family and her precious fur babies and her love of her life Devon. She was my bestie and I will never forget her and her beautiful soul. I will never forget the great times we had together. She always made me laugh and made me feel good just being around her. I miss and love you always Jamie. P.s. I saw a bunny today I know it was you 😉
My beautiful sweet Jamie Lea,
You were a light that brightened my day, a warm smile that filled a room, caring and loving always showering me with unconditional love. My heart hurts for one more hug, one more smile, a laugh, a text, to hear your voice again, anything. You will always be in my heart and on my mind. I love you and miss you terribly, my beautiful sweet baby girl.

Jamie I wish I could have met you. I can see from the comments, pictures and the beautiful things your dad has said about you that you were a precious young lady. I know you will be terribly missed by your dad, other family members and friends. I am happy for your good times and sad for the pain you endured after your accident. I know you are out of pain now and that you are being rewarded for your loving and generous heart. I can’t imagine the pain of losing a child and I will keep your dad and other loved ones in my prayers.
