Born in Anderson, SC, she was the daughter of Thomas E. Walls and Debbie W. Walls. She was a 1996 graduate of T.L. Hanna High School. Wendie attended Erskine College, Central Queensland University in Australia and graduated from the University of South Carolina in 2000. She attended Northway Church in Macon, GA.
In addition to her husband and her parents, she is survived by her three children, Grady Anderson "Andy" Cheek, Lucie Anne Cheek, and Charles Daniel "Charlie" Cheek; two sisters, Mandy O'Shields and her husband Don and their children, Allana and Autumn, of Anderson, SC and Heather Mitsopoulos and her husband Angelo, of Fort Mill, SC
The Funeral service will be held on Friday, October 11, 2013, at 2:00 PM at High Praises Church, 4506 Midway Road, Williamston, SC 29697, with Pastor Chris Sustar officiating. Interment will follow at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.

The family suggests that memorials be made to The Wendie Walls Cheek Children's Legacy Fund, c/o The State Bank and Trust, 5980 Zebulon Road, Macon, GA 31208.
The family would like to extend their deepest appreciation to family, friends, and organizations who daily demonstrated the love of Christ by supporting us in so many ways on this journey. It was a blessing and privilege to see God move in so many lives and served to strengthen our faith daily.
We would also like to thank the Emory University Hospital System, specifically: Dr. David Monson, Dr. Natalyn Hawk, Dr. Karen Godette, Dr. Allan Pickens, as well as Wendie's entire medical team of doctors, nurses, technicians, and staff for their dedication, skill, care, and commitment to their profession.
Wendie was a beloved mother, wife, daughter, and sister who was passionate about living for her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Because of her strong desire to know Him better each day, He used her many talents to touch so many throughout every area of her life. Her joyful soul was an inspiration that was unforgettable and she had a peace and inner joy that made anyone she met instantly comfortable and eager for the next conversation. Even in the midst of pain and suffering, Wendie always had a beautiful smile on her face and would turn her attention away from herself to pray and serve others. She was warm, sincere, and carried herself with heavenly grace and beauty. She praised God by purposely doing everything with excellence to the best of her ability, and in true fashion has led the way by showing all of us how to live on this earth. Her soul is alive and well and we look forward to joining her in Heaven!

Words cannot express to each of you how sorry I am for your loss. I did not have the pleasure of knowing Wendie, but wished I had. Living in the neighborhood where Daniel grew up, and knowing his parents I know the world is a better place for Wendie being a part of it, if only for a short time. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you!

I hardly know the words to express to you all how sorry I am for your loss. Wendie was truly a beautiful spirit and lived her life with joy and grace, and the few of us in this world who were lucky enough to know her got to feel that joy in her presence. I feel very lucky to have known Wendie and she has truly left a mark on my heart. She will be missed greatly. May love surround you all during this difficult time and may you find some comfort and peace in one another.

Our family would like to express our deepest sympathy for your loss. I have witnessed the great faith of the Walls and Cheek family through this illness. Wendie and her family remained faithful in their testimony and in their faith. I pray that our Lord will supply all your needs in the days to come until you see her again, whole and unblemished and undefiled by things of this world. John 14:1-6
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
God Bless,
