Wendy Susan Payne

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.

Wendy Cooper

It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of Wendy Cooper on June 14, 2023, at the Grace Hospital in Winnipeg MB.

Wendy is survived by her children, her very best friends, Jason (Lissa), and Kristin (Cory Ricard, grandchildren, Carson, and Victoria); her love and partner for over 30 years Jerry Sereda Sr and his three sons, Jerry (Meghan), Christopher (Maria), and Ryan. As well as many other family and friends. Wendy will be missed by so many. Her summer morning visits with Jason, her Friday outings with Kristin and her crazy daily/nightly coffee routines with Jerry, will be forever cherished and so very hard for all of us to do without; fly free Mom, we will love you always and miss you forever. Per Mom’s wishes cremation has taken place and no formal service will be held. For those so wishing, donations may be made to the Winnipeg Humane Society or a pet shelter of your choice in her name, Wendy would be so grateful.
