I’m saddened to hear that Wendy has passed away.¬† She was a wonderful person - caring, sweet, and always happy.¬† I was fortunate to have known her in high school and count myself very lucky to have spent time with her our senior year at Rogers High.¬† We had played a round of golf at Indian Trails in the final weeks of school before summer and had a blast - just the two of us.¬† Unfortunately, life’s journey takes each of us on uncharted roads which may never cross in this physical life, but I’m looking forward to being able to see her again one day in glory.¬† To the entire Tuttle and Jenkins families, she was a very special individual I am so sorry for your loss. ¬†

Wendy was my former student at GRCC. In class, I commonly told stories about my Aunt Marie and Wendy was so kind as to visit my aunt on multiple occasions in her retirement home. I was so impressed by this kindness on Wendy's part. It was a expression of her kindness, warmth and compassion for people regardless of their station in life, age or familiarity. Our world is less without Wendy. My deepest sympathies to her family.

Our condolences go out to Wendy's family. Wendy was a roommate with my daughter, Liisa Rupert Rush in College and remained friends after college - and they are both now roommates in Heaven. May the Lord grant you comfort and peace. Maria Kocsis

Wendy's smile would light up a room & her laughter was contagious. Several times after leaving the gym, we ended up at the same gas station buying candy (hers was always strawberry twizzlers). We had a good laugh over what she called "our little secret." 😉 She will be missed and the world a little less bright without her.

My heart is heavy to hear of Wendy's passing. I am so glad to have known her. She lived life to the full and shared her heart with all she came in contact with. She was a smile I needed many years ago in school and a lovely smile that stayed all through her life. I am comforted knowing she loved the Lord. It is my prayer that her family be comforted by our Lord Jesus Christ. In heartfelt Sympathy. Cathy (Blake) Berden
