WENDY PESKY Obituary

PESKY--Wendy. We mourn the loss of our alumna, Wendy Pesky '62, a cherished friend and advisor to Hunter College and our School of Education. Together with her beloved husband, Alan, Wendy was a generous supporter of Hunter's Learning Lab for students with learning disabilities, bringing the knowledge they gained from their experience creating the Lee Pesky Learning Center in Idaho to our esteemed special education programs and supporting the Pesky Learning Lab Director. She enjoyed joining us at many Hunter events and we in turn looked forward to her warm and vibrant company. We will miss her greatly. Our heartfelt condolences to Alan and the family. Jennifer J. Raab, Hunter College President; Cathy Weinroth, Chair; and the Hunter College Foundation

I was sixteen when I met Wendy. My uncle Alan brought his fiancé to our house for everyone to meet. She was about 20, really cute, and 60 years later i remember that i thought my uncle Alan did well. So sorry for your loss

I never met this, who appears to have been an amazing, woman....but after reading this lovely obituary & story of a life so well lived....I regret that I never had the privilege of knowing her in person. God bless & comfort all who love & miss her & savor the good memories. Alexis Smith-Twiford ~ Meridian, Idaho
