In Wood Heights and beyond, the sudden passing of Janelle Elaine Wynn on April 17, 2025, at the age of 43, has left family, friends, and neighbors in profound sorrow. Renowned for her warm spirit and generous heart, Janelle was the daughter, sister, mother, friend, and pillar of her community. She invested herself fully in raising her children, supporting her parents through thick and thin, and lending a hand to anyone in need. As the Wynn family navigates this unbearable loss, their Wood Heights community has rallied around them, offering meals, prayers, and unwavering support.

Early Life and Family Foundations

Childhood in Wood Heights

Janelle Elaine Wynn was born in 1981 to Thomas and Gloria Wynn of Wood Heights. As the youngest of three siblings, she grew up exploring local parks, helping her mother tend the flower gardens, and delivering Sunday newspapers alongside her older brothers. From an early age, Janelle exhibited an infectious laughter and a knack for making friends—qualities that would shine throughout her life.

A Devoted Daughter and Sister

Family members recall Janelle as the glue that held the Wynn household together. When her father battled a serious illness in 2002, she organized weekly family dinners to keep spirits high; when her sister faced job loss in 2010, Janelle stepped in with childcare and financial advice. Her deep sense of responsibility and her endless compassion defined her roles as daughter and sister.

Marriage, Motherhood, and Community Involvement

Loving Mother of Three

Janelle married her high‑school sweetheart, David Morgan, in 2003. Together they welcomed three children—Emma (17), Noah (14), and Lydia (9)—all of whom were the center of Janelle’s universe. PTA meetings, soccer practices, and bedtime stories were never a burden but a joy, and she took pride in instilling in her children the values of kindness, gratitude, and perseverance.

Champion of Wood Heights Outreach

Beyond her family, Janelle volunteered extensively. She co‑founded the Wood Heights Little Free Pantry in 2016, ensuring that struggling neighbors could access non‑perishable foods and toiletries 24/7. She led the annual “Spring Spruce‑Up” neighborhood cleanup, recruiting dozens of volunteers to beautify parks, plant trees, and repaint playground equipment.

Personal Passions and Legacy Traits

A Talent for Baking and Baking Up Smiles

Known affectionately as the “Cupcake Queen,” Janelle turned her kitchen into a mini bakery every holiday season. Her elaborate gingerbread houses and specialty cupcakes became community legends, eagerly anticipated at local fundraisers, church bazaars, and school bake sales.

Friend to All

Whether it was a handwritten note, a home‑grown bouquet, or a surprise coffee delivery, Janelle never missed an opportunity to brighten someone’s day. Her circle was wide—neighbors young and old, co‑workers from the local credit union where she worked as a loan officer, and lifelong friends from her high‑school days.

The Community’s Grief and Support

Outpouring of Condolences

News of Janelle’s passing spread quickly through Wood Heights. Within hours, her front yard was lined with flower bouquets, hand‑lettered cards, and soft toys donated by children at Parker Elementary. On social media, the hashtag #RememberingJanelleWynn trended locally as friends shared photos of her laughter‑filled moments and tender acts of kindness.

Practical Help for the Wynn Family

Recognizing the financial and emotional toll, local churches and civic groups have organized meal trains, childcare rotations, and a scholarship fund in Janelle’s name to help her children with future educational expenses.
