Wendy Wenberg, 79, of Mission, passed away on February 24th at Mission Memorial Hospital after a brief battle with cancer.
Wendy is predeceased by her husband of 50 years, Keith, survived by her children, Jeff and Tracey, her granddaughter Brooke, and her brother Gary.
Her greatest joys in life were her family, pets and serving her community through volunteer work. Wendy was deeply involved in many clubs and boards of directors, with a focus on senior care and housing. She always had a passion for senior care, exemplified when she became a caregiver and advocate for her husband during his battle with Alzheimer's and dementia. Wendy took pride in her involvement with the Lions Club and the Mission Legion. Wendy made friends wherever she went, you could count on her warm laugh and bright smile to light up a room and welcome anyone who had the pleasure of meeting her.
Sharron Wendy Smith was born February 3, 1941 in Vancouver, BC, to parents Sadie Marguerite Newton and Albert Smith. Wendy left school in 10th grade to help support her family, at which point she started working at Gault Brothers, where she met her future husband, Keith Wayne Wenberg.
Sharing a love of travel, Wendy, Keith and Brooke would spend their summers in their motorhome camping in BC and Alberta. Before having a grandchild, Wendy and Keith would hop on their motorcycle and ride throughout Canada and the U.S.
Wendy was a compassionate, strong, hilarious and warm-hearted woman who will be deeply missed not only by her family and friends, but many members of the Mission community, and beyond, whose lives she has touched.
