Genell Ann Wessel

Genell Ann Wessel, 49, went to her heavenly home on Wednesday, July 12, 2023 after a long and valiant battle with cancer. She was a beloved mother, wife, sister, friend, and child of God. Genell was a faithful woman who loved the Lord and was loved by all.

Genell was born in Fabens, TX, shortly after she was given to her first adoptive mother at just 2 weeks. Throughout her childhood she was blessed with several other motherly figures each hand picked by God just for her at the moments when she needed them most. Each blessed her with love, life lessons, and the support which allowed her to thrive throughout life.

Genell was driven by love for her family and a strong desire to break generational chains. Genell instilled in her children an expectation for growth. Genell’s drive allowed her to acquire her GED, LPN, and eventually her Real Estate License. Genell’s favorite quote was “A man who doesn’t work, doesn’t eat”. She had a heart to help others whenever she could and to truly used her blessings in this life to bless others.

In 2001, Genell met her true love John and their lives changed forever. Genell is survived by her husband and 3 children Vanessa (35), Monica (30), and Richard (19). John and Genell share 3 grandchildren Mariah (15), Mason (6), and Josiah (4).

Her passion was always helping people by feeding the hungry, clothing those in need, and helping people find homes rather than just houses. But her heart and soul lied with her family. She never wasted an opportunity impart her wisdom, make us feel loved, and to set an example of what it truly means to live an abundant life.

Genell lived a life worth living. She walked hand in hand with the Lord, gave love without reservation, laughed plenty, and shined a light brighter than the stars on all who knew her. She will be missed by us all and will be impossible to forget.
