Wendy devoted her time and energy to her family, friends, and neighbors. She was dedicated to the lives of her spouse, her children, and her grandchildren. She treasured quality time with her family and was rarely seen without Stevie or a grandchild in tow. Wendy made it her life’s work to be a caring wife and mother and an even more devoted grandmother.  She was a caregiver to many children in the community and loved watching them grow. She spent countless hours volunteering her impeccable organizational skills and precise attention to detail at the Benefit Club helping those in need or planning an event. Wendy was a giver in every sense of the word. She did not look for recognition but was humbled by knowing that her work benefited those that needed it. Along with volunteering, Wendy loved to play cards, work on scrapbooking and shop with her family and friends. She was an incredible cook and loved to decorate for the holidays. Her Christmas Village was a labor of love and a holiday masterpiece.
