Wendi Gifford, born March 5, 1969, in Northern California, passed away surrounded by love and peace in Winchester Virginia.

Wendi was a lifetime learner, always curious and eager to explore new ideas. Her spirituality and creativity were at the center of who she was, and she touched the lives of many through her open heart and spirit. Wendi cherished her family deeply, especially her mother, with whom she shared a profound and enduring bond.

She is survived by her mother, Maris Gifford, her sister, Megan Gifford, and her brother, Craig Gifford. Wendi will be remembered with love and gratitude by all who knew her.

She now joins her beloved grandparents, nephew, and father in heaven, where she will be embraced with eternal peace.

Wendi's family will forever hold her memory close, honoring the light, love, and creativity she brought into this world.

Services for Wendi will be private.
