Wendy June Peart (Larsen)'s Obituary
Wendy June Peart (Larsen), 68 of Layton, Utah, peacefully passed away on March 20, 2026 in Clearfield, Utah. Born on January 9, 1958 in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Vaughn and Sandra Peart. Wendy attended Jordan Jr. High School and graduated from Kearns High School in 1976. Wendy grew up with a spirit that was equal parts warmth, humor and heart. Anyone lucky enough to spend time with her quickly discovered that her silly personality and infectious, big, beautiful smile, could brighten even the hardest days.
Wendy loved unconditionally. It was that simple and that extraordinary. Whether it was her children, her brother, her grandchildren, extended family, friends or the dogs curled up at her feet, she gave her whole heart without hesitation. She had a way of making people feel seen, valued, and loved just as they were.
Her passions painted a vivid picture of who she was. Wendy could often be found out in the garden with dirt under her nails, or sitting quietly on the porch watching the birds and listening to them sing. She loved camping under open skies, losing herself in a good book, and dancing to a country song whenever the mood struck. Her dogs were her constant companions, and camping buddies who adored her just as much as she adored them.
Wendy was preceded in death by her parents, Vaughn and Sandra Peart and her amazing aunt Nancy Cooke. She is survived by her son Zachary Banks; her daughter, Corie Terrell-Spencer (Tyler Spencer); her brother Tyson Peart (Tiffany Peart); her cousin Leslie Coleman (Rodger Coleman), who was more a sister than a cousin and her grandchildren; James Banks, Tyler Banks, Trinitee Belt (Brayden Belt), Hunter Terrell, Logan Spencer, Kaitlynn Spencer and Connor Spencer.
There will not be a formal service held. A private family gathering will be held at a later date to celebrate Wendy’s life in the way she would have wanted, surrounded by the people she loved most.
Wendy’s family takes comfort in knowing that her presence will never truly fade. As the saying goes, “Those we love don’t go away, They Walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Watching closely with proudness, love and cheer.”
“Rest easy, mom. You are finally at peace. The sunflowers will keep blooming, the Aspen trees will keep swaying, the birds will keep singing, the banjo will keep playing and your love will keep holding us together.”
