Our Beautiful Jessica Lynnanne Yates Wooten made the transition from her life on earth to her life in heaven on December 11, 2011. She was an angel given to Gary Lynn Yates and Dorothy Ann Redinger Yates who arrived on August 22, 1975.

She was the loving wife of Jesse Wooten and the mother of her pride and joy, Dylan Ty Wooten. Jessica was the little sister of Christopher Wayne Yates and the big sister of Olivia Mary Bouldin Brent. She was the granddaughter of Sylvia Redinger and the late Oliver Redinger and the late Gordon and Van Yates. Her much-adored nieces and nephews are Lauren Michelle and Christopher Mitchell Yates, Jacob McNair, Lindsay Lynnanne and Jared Adam Brent.

Professionally, Jessica was a registered dental assistant at Bay City Dental. She was a vibrant, strong woman who fought a very long battle against cancer. She left an indelible mark on all of us who loved her and on all who knew her.

Friends may call at the funeral home after 5:00 PM Wednesday. A Memorial service will be held at 2:00 PM Thursday, December 15, 2011 at Calvary Baptist Church with Rev. Lane Pardue officiating. She will be laid to rest at Cedarvale Cemetery in Bay City. Michael McArthur, Stoney Seyferth, William Atherton, Scott Avants, Jonthen Times, and Brett Lawrence have been entrusted to be her pallbearers.
