She was employed by Bedford Public Schools in Food service for the past 5 years. Prior, she worked for The Toledo Zoo, and Lowes. She was an avid animal lover, who would go out of her way to protect and care for animals. Her love for animals came from her upbringing of being a veterinarian's daughter. Her many pets included dogs, cats, raccoons, horses, peacocks, and goats. Wendy's favorite pastimes included spending time with her friends, shopping, getting a good ice cream sundae, walking along the shoreline and soaking up the sun whether on the beach or lounging in the pool on her favorite raft. She loved to travel and enjoyed many family vacations. She fulfilled a long time wish to go to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in May with her family. She was a member of Five Lakes Church in Sylvania, Ohio, where she made several great friends. She will be sorely missed by all, but are comforted by that she is in the arms of Jesus.
