Weslei J. Horn, known for her feisty spirit, generous heart and deep love for her family, passed away on Jan. 20, 2026

Weslei was born on Dec. 23, 1956, in Homer, Alaska, to Wesley and Anne Welsh. Because her father worked for the FAA, the family moved throughout Alaska during her childhood, living in Galena, Northway, Cold Bay and Kenai before eventually settling in Eagle River.

She attended Chugiak High School graduating in 1975, and later studied sociology at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Weslei worked at Longs Drugs and later Mohawk Marketing, where she formed many meaningful connections. During that time she had the opportunity to travel extensively, including a memorable trip to Japan. She later worked for ASD until retiring in 2014.

In 1978, Weslei met the love of her life, Steve. Together they shared 48 wonderful years and embraced the Alaska lifestyle, enjoying camping, rafting, fishing, hiking and spending time outdoors.

After the birth of her son, Andrew, Weslei devoted herself to being a loving and supportive mother. She was deeply involved in his activities and especially loved hockey, proudly serving as team manager for several teams he played on.

Later in life, Weslei found immense joy in becoming a grandmother to Killian.

Weslei had a special way of brightening the lives of others, whether baking treats for neighbors, offering a kind word or simply listening.

She is survived by her husband, Steve; son, Andrew; grandson, Killian; sisters, Kathy Haley (John); Corky Pope and Cyndy Johannsen (Pete); brother, Lanse Welsh; and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Richard and Steve Walli; sister-in-law, Marie Walli and niece, Erica Walli.

Private family services were held.

In honor of Weslei, please plant a daisy in her memory and think of her whenever it blooms.
