Obituary published on Legacy.com by Smith Family Funeral & Crematory Services, LLC - Smyrna on Feb. 23, 2026.
Wendi Lynn Fox, age 65, of Lynchburg, Tennessee, passed away on February 6, 2026 surrounded by her family and closest friends.

Born April 15, 1960 in Price, Utah, to loving parents, Lyle and Sharon Fox. Wendi had three siblings, four children, eleven grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

Wendi had a kind heart and was dearly loved by everyone that knew her. She valued love over money and taught her children the importance of kindness and meaningful relationships. Wendi had an open heart and easily welcomed people into her life. She was a lovingly devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Wendi was compassionate, empathetic, and humble.

Wendi enjoyed fixing things and crafting, often surprising those around her with her intelligence and creativity. She loved music and had a playful sense of humor. She believed in goodness, peace, and grace.

Wendi deeply loved both of her parents and often spoke of them. In her mother's diary she wrote of her favorite memory of her father:

When he was fishing he always took me. I don't like to fish, but I'd sit behind him and watch and sneak into [the] tackle box and eat the corn he used for bait. He would go to get some for [his] hook and I had ate it all, but he never knew where it went. Lol, lol.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Sharon Fox; father, Lyle Fox, and her sister, Holly Fox. She is survived by her siblings: Brendan and Jeff; her children: Robert, Krystal, Heather, and Steven; her grand-children: Dakota, Kasey, T.J., Timothy, Jeremiah, Hunter, Autumn, Bentley, Levi, Maelynn, Wilder; and her great-grandchild: Gracelynn.
