Roxie Ann Wessels

I will always cherish the memories of Roxie and Dean. They became prayer partners when I served as their pastor 1991 through 2001. When I began my service to the General Church, Roxie assured me from the beginning that she would continue to serve as my prayer partner.

Roxie was a monument of faith and holiness. Her legacy will endure for generations to come.

Roxie Wessels was one of those rare gracious persons who could always be counted on to make you feel important. My acquaintance with Roxie goes back to when I was 6 years old and I still remember what a wonderful person Roxie was to me and remained throughout my life. Mark and Vicki have always emulated their mother's sweet spirit. She was a great person.

A wonderful mentor and friend whose kindness and love were boundless.

Oh how I loved you! You always made me as well as everyone feel so special. You were my spiritual mentor. Welcome home good and faithful servant!
