From the moment we enter this world until the moment we leave it, our time is filled with the journey called life. A journey that Wendy never took for granted and made sure she filled with laughter, love, friendship and worship.
Wendy was a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother to her family and steadfast child of her Lord. She was always more than happy to share photos and stories of her children and grandchild with friends. She was happiest when she was surrounded by her friends and family including her church family.
For many years Wendy worked as a teacher’s aide with the Intermediate Unit helping youth navigate the challenges of primary school. Wendy will be remembered for her kindness, her willingness to help her friends and family, her dedication to her church family, her pleasant and fun demeanor and her undying commitment to motherhood and her Lord. Wendy was always happy to open her house and her kitchen to her friends and her children’s friends. She leaves many behind with happy memories of time spent in her presence.
