Mary Jo Wendorff

Mary Jo "Jody" Wendorff passed away on April 11, 2017. She was born in Ohio
on June 3, 1928 and eventually settled in Southern California with her husband, Dr. Ted Wendorff, and their four children; Teri, Judi, Todd and Dave. Jody loved her children, their spouses, her 15 grandkids and three great grandchildren more than anything. She had a deep and abiding faith in God which she sought to live out every day. Jody loved her friends, loved people, and generously volunteered her time to those in need in our community. If you had the privilege of meeting her, she was the life of the party and lit up the room. She was fun, daring, adventurous and elegant all at the same time. Her grandchildren adored her and she never missed an opportunity to attend a special event for anyone in her family. She was up for almost anything and even into her late 80's played golf and bridge several times a week, went to the Red Onion and out to Palm Desert. Amazingly, she never seemed to age. She stayed young to her very last step on this earth. She went out the way she lived her life, full of joy and with a bold tenacity to live through pain and hardship for another glorious day with her family and friends, and with an absolute assurance that the Lord was waiting for her the moment she took her last breath. This life ended and her eternal life began. She will be greatly missed. A celebration service will be held on Monday, April 24 at 11 AM in the Norris Pavilion, 501 Indian Peak Road, Rolling Hills Estates. Please sign the guestbook at www.dailybreeze.com/obits
