Wendy Leiter Obituary

Wendy Ellin (Werges) Leiter, born June 29, 1950, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, passed away Sunday, August 24, 2025, at her home in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Wendy was beloved by everyone lucky enough to know her. The quintessential caregiver, she was a constant source of support for her husband, her daughters, her grandchildren, and anyone she knew who needed it. All who knew her will remember her as a devoted mother and wife with a generous spirit and open heart.

She is survived by her husband, Richard, her daughters Maddie, Annie, and Becky, her brother, Richard, and six grandchildren (Harrison, Hank, Ellie, Sammy, Emily, and Richie). She is preceded in death by her daughter Emily.

Services will be at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church on Thursday, August 28, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. A graveside service will immediately follow. Family and friends will be having an open house at Wendy and Richard's home at 1:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Connected Forever in Nebraska.

8-27-25 - I was quite stunned to learn of Wendy's passing. My heart goes out to everyone who loved and cared about Wendy, especially her family: her husband Rich, their children and their grandchildren, and her brother Rich. There are no words to fully express how deeply sad and sorry I am for your tremendous loss. I know that there will never be anyone like your beloved Wendy and that you will always miss her. May your sweetest memories of Wendy and of happier times sustain you and comfort you, particularly when you are missing her the most. Never forget the love.
I wish peace and strength to each one of you.
- Alice (Rich Werges' longtime friend in AZ)
