November 28, 1958 – May 12, 2025
Wendy passed surrounded by family on May 12, 2025 at the age of 66. She is survived by her husband Marc, her children Andrew and Shannon, and her brother Chris (Anita). Wendy was predeceased by her parents Joan and Tom.
Wendy was born in Winnipeg on November 28th, 1958. She graduated from the University of Winnipeg with a Bachelor of Arts focusing in political science. During university she met her husband Marc outside a shared political science course. Wendy and Marc married in 1984, then ten years later she brought their son Andrew into this world. She finished her studies as a CPA while 8 months pregnant with her daughter Shannon in 1997.
Wendy was an incredibly dedicated and hardworking woman, always putting 100% into any project she was working on. From her early days working in retail sales to her most current role as a Business Analyst, Wendy always maintained the highest standard of work ethic and ensured satisfaction by her clients, superiors and coworkers.
Wendy was an avid reader, typically being found with a mystery novel in her hand or nearby. Many summers were spent sitting in the screened porch at the cabin on Falcon Lake eating fresh peas or sunflower seeds by the bagful. Wendy was an animal lover, having had many dogs and later cats as her companions.
Her family would like to thank the wonderful medical team at the Grace Hospital for all their dedication, compassion and care for Wendy during her final days.
There will be a memorial service for Wendy on Saturday, June 7th at 2:00 p.m. at the Caboto Centre, 1055 Wilkes Avenue.

Marc,
I am so sorry for your loss. It has been a long time since I have seen Wendy, but I remember her as being so full of life and always a smile on her face.
Sending my condolences to you, Andrew & Shannon.

My memories of Wendy are ones of a funny, energetic and a little bit cheeky friend. It takes me way back to our late teens working at McDonald’s to our early 20’s where this group of girls continued our tight friendship. One memory of Wendy is driving her Honda civic hatchback down Portage Ave. with 11 giggly girls packed inside. But as life often does, we all went in different directions, but the good memories will always be with us.
May the good memories of your mom, wife, sister and friend comfort you during this difficult time and beyond.
i always enjoyed my conversations with Wendy. She was smart, insightful, educated and confident. Never one to dominate a conversation, she listened with respect and responded thoughtfully. She had strong business acumen and was a good mom who loved her family and dogs. I miss her. Best wishes to Marc, Andrew and Shannon. Wendy was a gem.
I always enjoyed our coffee meetings at Tim’s in Charleswood Centre. She always loved to talk process and what right for the customer. She definitely was passionate about her work. I will miss her.
I first met Wendy in 2017, and over the past eight years of working together, I came to admire her unwavering dedication and exceptional work ethic as a Business Analyst. She always put 100 percent into any project, ensuring that clients, supervisors, and colleagues were completely satisfied.
Beyond her professional excellence, Wendy’s warmth and kindness were evident in every interaction. I’ll never forget how she would always share amazing stories about the many summers she spent on the screened porch at her family’s cabin, a place she spoke of with such fondness.
Wendy balanced her career and family beautifully. Her ability to juggle demanding deadlines at work while nurturing her family was truly inspiring.
Her genuine interest in others made her an incredible teammate—she listened thoughtfully, offered insightful feedback, and approached every challenge with compassion. As an animal lover, she often shared stories about her pets, and her love for them reminded us all of the simple joys in life.
Wendy’s absence leaves a deep void in our team and in my heart. I extend my sincerest condolences to Marc, Andrew, Shannon, and Chris (and Anita). May you find comfort in the many memories of Wendy’s laughter, intelligence, and boundless generosity.
Dear Wendy, I will miss our virtual coffee chats where we would catch up about our kids’ recent adventures, oh how proud you are of them, talk about lake life and how much you enjoyed it, and we even sprinkled in some project talk sometimes.
Our deepest condolences go out to Marc, Andrew, Shannon and the entire family.
I was stunned and saddened to hear of Wendy’s passing. I enjoyed working with her at Rescom for many years. She was such a friendly and intelligent person whom I really liked and admired. One of my fondest memories was when we met for occasional lunches and she ate so little that she always took most of her lunch home in a doggie bag.
Marc, Shannon and Andrew, please accept my sincere condolences over your great loss and pass along my sympathies to other members of Wendy’s family.
