Wendy was known for her deep love of family and friends, always placing their needs above her own. She was the rock of her family, flourishing in her role as wife, mother, and grandmother. Her home was welcoming, offering refuge to any animal in need. An avid fan of film, particularly horror and sci-fi, Wendy embraced the season of Halloween with enthusiasm.

Her love for life extended to exciting activities such as visiting theme parks and riding roller coasters, as well as spending time at the beach, soaking up the sun, and enjoying her pool. Wendy had a flair for fashion, always embracing various hairstyles and colors, and she had a remarkable ability to light up any room with her humor and authenticity.
