She studied education and special education in Victoria and Vancouver before moving to Montreal She cared deeply about children and their well-being, developing the Aqua Percept and Movement Ed programs at the Pte. Claire Aquatic Centre. After retirement, she volunteered at 'the little red schoolhouse' in St. Telesphore.
Wendy was a vivacious and generous hostess, opening her heart and her home to friends and relatives. She was both artistic and musical (as a young woman she played the cello with the Victoria Symphony). She earned a Montreal's Citizen of the Year award during the 1980s, in recognition of her work with children with disabilities. She had a wonderful sense of humour, and in later life enjoyed reminiscing about her early years on the BX Ranch in Vernon, in Ocean Falls, and at 'the pool.'
