Laying Wendy Jessen to rest.

Donation protected
Hello, I am Alicia Shoopman, one of Wendy’s many family members who adored her very existence. I know I am not alone while expressing this. Money is being raised to bring Wendy back to California to rest, along with the cost of everything else that goes in to one’s passing.
We are trying to raise enough money so her husband, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren can grieve over the sudden loss of someone so very dear to them without financial stressors.
It’s with a very heavy heart we have to say farewell to Wendy in such a sudden way.
Wendy and Terri were on their way to see their daughter, granddaughters, and their youngest great grandson when she suddenly started her journey to heaven.
There is no explanation as to why just yet, but seems her heart just suddenly gave out. It happened just moments after she spoke to her granddaughter on the phone.
It was a fight for her to make it every step of the way. Unfortunately her fight ended that day in the hospital with her daughter, her husband, and her granddaughter at her bed side.
Not one person that knew and loved Aunt Wendy was ready to let her go physically. She was called home before she could see her loved ones one last time.
Everyone is so completely heartbroken. Her babies and husband are having a very difficult time trying to juggle finances, finding solutions as to how to arrange a service, and get her back to California to lay her at her final resting place, all while trying to grieve one of their greatest losses.


Aunt Wendy was the definition of a saint, an angel on earth and there is truly nothing she wouldn’t do for those that were in her life. I know I will always love her and be forever grateful that I had her in my life from the moment I joined this family, and I know her babies and husband will be forever missing her sweet sweet soul.
May whatever it was that took her so suddenly, she be freed from and she may rest in peace.
Thank you all to those that are taking the time to even read her story, she really was a beautiful person and all involved deserve to grieve someone lost entirely too soon.


If anyone can help at all, even if it’s to share the go fund me, we would be utterly grateful.
