So long for now, Wendy. Thank you for being a bright spot even in your own struggles. Somehow you’ve always seemed to see the good. Thanks for being our friend. Save a seat at the craft table for us. We love you. God bless your family.

Wendy did so much for our family. When she was around something fun always happened. Our girls really enjoyed having her for a youth leader. The Facer Family all loved her!!

Every time I was with Wendy she was serving, helping friends with weddings or weeding or just showing up. She worked so hard to make herself and life better for others. What a lovely person has joined the ranks on the other side, and those here have lost a light.

My sincere condolences on Wendy’s passing. She was a delightful person to know and I am so glad I was privileged to have known her first as a wonderful helper with ma garden but most of all I was proud to think of her as a friend. So shocked by her sudden passing. I will miss her.

This is very painful for me. Wendy was my customer at Walgreens and she and her husband became my friends. She was a great friend, she was with me in difficult times in my life when my wife died, she and her husband have been very important people in my life. How can I forget every moment she was there to help me in my moments of grief due to the death of my wife. Someday we will be in heaven with our heavenly father and our loved ones. I want to send my condolences to Mr Steve and the family of my great friend. 😢 It’s painful. But only God knows why things are that way

I miss Wendy’s ebullient personality. She lit up any room or event. I am SAS that I didn’t follow a thought to call her for help with weeding several weeks ago. Sincerest condolences to all who knew and loved her.

I was shocked to see this today and sad I missed the service yesterday. Young Women’s Camp was always an adventure when she was helping and the youth loves her so much. Wendy was a light that brought happiness and love everywhere she went and she will be missed dearly.

I only knew Wendy for a few years as the proprietor of Weeding Wendy. Her business was such a help to me in maintaining my home. She was always bright, funny, and kind. I will miss her, as I’m sure she is greatly missed by her family and friends.

Such a sweet and wonderful woman, she was always smiling and ready to lend a helping hand. And what a cook she was, and gifted in so many ways. Though its been 12 years since we last saw her I still remember what amazing things she could do with icing. What an angel, and now she can sing with choirs of angels. Our hearts and prayers are with her family, especially Steve.
