Lynda Marie Sayers Wessel, born on December 28, 1960, passed away peacefully on March 15, 2025, at St. Elizabeth Hospice. Known for her vibrant personality and sharp wit, she brought joy and laughter to those around her and will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Lynda is survived by her beloved husband, Joseph Wessel, and her three children: Leah Ann Wessel, Melanie Wessel, and Joey Wessel (Brittney). She took great pride in her grandchildren—Mya, Dylan, Bryson, Jesse, Hunter, Haley, Gavin , Noah, and Ellie—each of whom held a special place in her heart.

In addition to her immediate family, Lynda is survived by her mother, Pat Sayers, as well as her sisters, Tammy Trappe  (Keith), Kim Neff (David), and Sherri Slavey (Scott).
