Wendy Duff Obituary
Preceded in death by a mere five weeks was the love of her life, James Francis Duff (Jim). In addition, were both sets of parents, George & Betty Christian, Jack & Kay Duff, Susie Duff, John Duff as well as her beloved "Nonny". Wendy left behind her siblings Laura Christian, Doug (Ginny) Christian, Linda (Dennis) Miller and Brad Christian as well as in-laws Kathy, Tom (Pam) Duff, Anne (Bob) Dorneker , Margaret (Will) Walsh, Mary (Jim) Arey, Patty (Bob) Marino, Bob Duff and many nieces, nephews and friends. Wendy encountered MANY in her short 61 years on earth and will be sorely missed.
A Celebration of Life will take place on Sunday July 21 from 1:00-4:00 pm at Clarkson Park, 1950 New Willow Rd., Northfield IL. We welcome all to join us in celebrating the life of our beloved Wendy ("Wads").

I'm saddened to learn of Wendy's passing and pray for her family and friends. She was a terrific co-worker and cheerful presence to so many of us who knew her from the State Street OTB downtown in the 1990's. It's now officially happy hour in heaven, Wendy is behind the bar and Bill Houlihan is buying!

I can´t even explain how much I miss you. You were my neighbor and a true friend. We hung out together and helped each other out. Every time I make something, I want to show it to you to get your ideas. Bob and I have very good memories of you and Jim. I know you are with him now and are watching us and sending good vibes! Love you, Wendy!
