“A limb has fallen from our family tree.”

Janessa Jaimes Wagar, 23, “was granted her angel wings” on March 11, 2016. As she walked into her heavenly journey, her family and friends stood close by, comforting her and giving her the strength and courage to begin her new journey.

Janessa was born Aug. 29, 1992, in Whitefish. Janessa had a very special and unbreakable bond with her three siblings and four beautiful children that will continue to live on to honor her name.

Janessa is survived by her parents, James Wagar and Carolynn Dutton; her sisters, Jessica and Samantha; her brother, Colton; and her children, Kaeden, 7, Kinnley, 3 1/2, Keylan, 2 1/2, and Kaiya, 7 months.

Janessa touched the lives of many people with her presence and contagious smile that she will be forever remembered for.

Please join us in celebrating Janessa’s wonderful spirit and enthusiastic personality at 1 p.m. on May 7, at the Wagar homestead, 230 Gopher Lane, Marion. A potluck reception will immediately follow the memorial service.

In lieu of flowers, donations are being accepted to help care for the four children. There has been an account set up at Wells Fargo in the name of Kaeden James Wagar, or gift cards are also a good way to help with their growing needs.

Words cannot express how grateful our family is for all the prayers and concerns during this most difficult time. It is deeply appreciated and will always be remembered. — the family of Janessa Wagar
