It goes without saying that she was never afraid of work. Wendy had and held many positions in her lifetime.  A small glimpse into Wendy's career included anything and everything from working as a Military Clerk to lunch lady to handing out detentions at a local  High School to proudly parking cars at her Plum Island residence.  But, ultimately her life was spent as a Devoted Wife and Companion , Loving Mother, and with her  Everlasting relationships with Family and Friends is what shaped the person that is and will forever be, Wendy. 

Wendy's life was spent unselfishly dedicated to  her family and friends. Her humor and generous spirit touched everyone she met.  Whether it was giving out unsolicited advice to her children or giving life lessons to random strangers, everyone listened.  She was always quick with a story or a silly joke.  When you met her, even if only for a moment, you instantly felt her warmth and love.
