Family was very important to Amy.  She enjoyed praying for and spending time with them.  However, on special holidays, after eating, she didn't hesitate to let you know, "I'm tired and I'm ready to go home."  This meant her goin home to watch the "ignant box" (television) or the ignant box watching her.

Amy was preceded in death by her parents Roosevelt Wesley, Julia Gardner, brother, Ernest "BeBe" Wesley and sister Emily Lanier.  She leaves to cherish her memory her longtime friend William Bacon, her only child Teri Lynn Jarmon (James) of Vancouver, WA, two sisters Linda Jones (George) of Las Vegas, NV and Laura Wesley of Portland, OR, as well as a host of nieces, nephews and extended family and friends.

She will also be remembered for her love for pineapple upside down cake and banana pudding.  Amy will truly be missed!
