Rebecca “Jan” Wilsey
January 6, 1950 – January 22, 2021
Rebecca “Jan” Wilsey, 71 of Edmond, Oklahoma was born January 6, 1950 in Okla. City, to Robert and Evelyn Hutchison. Jan is survived by her husband Patrick, her daughters, Jacquelyn Wilsey
of Edmond, and Leslie Hill and her husband Brant of Edmond. As well as her five grandchildren, Lyric, Reese, Joshua, Elliott and Major, and her brother James Hutchison and his wife Patricia of Edmond.
Our beloved “Granna” was married to the love of her life for 43 years and served him well as the professional domestic engineer of the home. Jan enjoyed cooking meals for her family and baking cookies, usually everything was from scratch and most definitely always made with love. She delighted in snuggling with the family dogs, sewing quilts for friends and family, as well as spending time in her garden watering and picking flowers to bring inside the house. Jan loved the Lord with all her heart. She was a prayer warrior and a peacemaker. Her life was a living example of Ephesians 4:32 “be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as Christ forgave you.”
Jan went to be with her Lord and Savior, January 22, 2021. She was a dearly loved wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt and she will be greatly missed. The family would like to thank the amazing staff of OU Health and Science center for the incredible care they administered to her in her final days. We will miss her at our dinner table, but we know she is overjoyed to join her beloved Jesus at His table in heaven.
Graveside services are 2:00 p.m. Wednesday Jan. 27, 2021 at Memorial Park Cemetery with viewing at Matthews Funeral Home from 5-7 p.m. on Tuesday.
