So sorry to just hear of Wendy's passing. She helped me get our volunteer program off the ground as I started my job at the Manalapan Senior Center thirty years ago. Wendy was working for Family & Children's Services of Monmouth County at the time. Later, as she became Director at Keyport, we shared so many ideas & resources. I truly enjoyed our conversations and friendship. Wendy will forever remain in my heart, thoughts & prayers.

My deepest condolences to the Tooker family. Your, wife, mother and grandmother will be missed. I worked with Wendy for many years at the Keyport Senior Center. I know that she loved her grandchildren dearly because we often heard stories, pictures and sometimes visits from them. I will miss her and I pray that the family get through this tough time.

My condolences to the Tooker family.
I had the pleasure of working with Wendy from time to time as a colleague while serving the senior citizen populations in the towns we served. We bounced a lot of ideas off of each other and shared knowledge and resources that made our respective programs more effective. May she Rest in Peace.
