She was an amazing mother and homemaker, and proudly raised her five children with much love and affection. Wendy liked to be outside, especially in the warm weather. She loved to spend time sunning herself at the iconic "Sandy Beach" in Big Lake, MN. She was very fond of horses, and dogs, had a terrific sense of humor, and was a magnificent cook and baker. She was a woman of great faith and could often be found reading the Bible. She was greatly loved, and we will cherish her memory always.
