My dear sister Wendy I can’t believe that you are gone from all of our lifes. I remember all the good times we had growing up and I rremember how proud of your family you always were.You will be missed and i look forward to the day we will all be together agian in heaven.
I never met you but seems to me you raised a awful awesome son Joe! I’m so sorry for your loss Joe! 🙂
So many great memories growing up with you Wendy. You will not be forgotten. We are remembering you with a big smile. You and your family are prayed for everyday.
What a wonderful woman who left us way too soon. I had the pleasure of knowing her since 1996. I never saw her let a friend down. Her family always came first. Steven and her boys were the joy of her life. She and her sister, Dawn, always stood side by side no matter what. Heaven is a much better place today. I am sure she is mothering everyone she meets up there. I will always treasure the time we had.
Wendy this world will miss you greatly. My prayer is especially for your family who lost you way too soon. I worked with Wendy at DOC and she never hesitated a moment to offer her husband’s Vehicle Mechanic expertise to help a single mom in need. Multiple times at the last minute ~ ‘THANK YOU STEVEN!”. Her kindness and generosity was a blessing to all. Rest in peace sister.
I will always remember the fun times growing up together in Fresno and the fond memories of summer vacations to Morro Bay, Shell Beach,and Cayucos…Time goes by so quickly. Praying for all your family and friends till we meet next in heaven.
I met Wendy when she was hired at the MIST unit. I worked with her many times after that…She loved her family and children so much. Wendy always had a positive attitude. R.I.P my friend…

Wendy, you were one of the most careing, loving person that I have ever met. You always were the first one to try and help anyone that needed help. We shared so many great times and laughs. You will always be in my heart and will be deeply missed.
Wendy, I am so glad that I had the privilege to have known you. You had such a zest for life. You will be greatly missed, your wonderful laugh and sense of humor. You were a kind person. Steven, Joe and Bryson, your wife and mother loved you all very much. You were her life. I am so sorry for your loss, but I know you have great memories to keep you through the tough times ahead. Hold those memories dear and near. God bless you and keep you and bring you and your family peace.
I have know Wendy through DOC for several years & she was a pleasure to work with. She so loved her family & friends and it saddens my heart she is gone and I pray she is resting in peace. For her family, please know that you”re being thought of during this difficult time.
Lavender will always remind me of Wendy that and instructions, there will never be anyone better at writing out instructions than her; click – scroll – enter. Leave instructions at THE GATE for us so we can find you, that and a lavender trail. I am so sorry for your family. RIP Wendy you are missed.
To Wendy’s family – I am so sorry you have this hole that will never be truly filled, but keep her memory and laughter and love alive in all you do. I only got to know Wendy for a short while and what an incredible caring, loving person she ‘is’ (she still “is” …). I can see her following the rainbows to find her other family and friends who have gone before her. take care of each other. hugs
I had the privilege to meet and get to know Wendy when we consolidated several records offices to a new location in Tacoma. This became known as “The Statewide Records Office”. Wendy loved learning as much as possible about records as well as helping out her co-workers. Wendy always had a smile on her face and that smile would light up the room. I loved her sense of humor. I enjoyed working with Wendy. She cared about everyone. For Wendy’s family, I am very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time. Wendy, rest in peace.
