Wendy was a true lover of the outdoors who found great peace in nature, especially during her cherished camping trips to Bear Run. She had a lifelong passion for crafting and needlepoint, often creating beautiful, handmade pieces that reflected her warmth and creativity. Her talents brought joy to many and left lasting impressions in every stitch. More than anything, Wendy loved being a grandma. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy, and she treasured every moment spent with them. She also found deep friendship and community through her time at the Rochester Turners and the New Brighton Eagles, where she built lasting relationships and shared many laughs.
