September 3, 1938 – September 17, 2022
Wendy loved nature, hiking, camping, and ALL creatures great and small.
She was grateful for a 30-year career in expedition style travel which took her to some of the most remote places in the world. She shared her experiences enthusiastically and had the unique ability to connect with everyone she met. She loved working at REI in her retirement; encouraging people to get outside while also swapping stories with like-minded souls.
We are comforted knowing that Wendy completed a bucket list trip to Cuba in April. Travelling there by herself in her 80’s, she continued to amaze and inspire right up to the end.
Wendy will be sorely missed by Jurgen - her loving husband of 60 years, PJ and Sophie (her canine companions), Karen and Jeremy (sister and brother), Vanessa and Jeremy (daughter and husband), her granddaughters Maggie and Bea, and friends and family across the globe.
We will miss her British accent, sense of humor and wit, joie-de-vivre, and most of all her love and encouragement. We are fortunate that she was part of our lives.
