After graduation, Wendy was employed at the Workshop, in Human Resources Center in Honesdale for over 30 years and received several honorable mentions for her services during her tenure. She later attended the Allied Services Day Program.

She enjoyed playing the organ, singing, dancing, watching television with her Mom, making hook rugs. circle word puzzles, and enjoying life footloose and fancy free. She was the sunshine on a gloomy day and would pick you up when you were feeling down. Additionally, she enjoyed her country music, bowling, watching movies and a nice meal with her family and friends. Those who met her always enjoyed her company, her silly laugh, and the crazy antics that set her apart from the crowd. She loved unconditionally and will be sorely missed by all.
