Wendy was born May 24, 1957 in Glace Bay, to Roddie and Delores Mac Vicar. She was the oldest of four children. In 1977, she married the love of her life Kevin and had two beautiful children Tiffany and Kevin. Through the years they showed people the meaning of true love. Wendy was a devoted grandmother to her four grandchildren, a listening ear to anyone who needed her and an inspiration for anyone going through tough times. She loved to smile, laugh and send her family recipes. Her relationship with her parents was so close they were neighbors ,and every Wednesday she would play Bingo with her mother and granddaughter. Wendy was our family's chocolate enthusiast, avid online shopper and self-made Interior Decorator. Her sister Wanda, who was her best friend, spent almost every day with her for the last few months taking care of her and scanning Amazon for home décor. Wendy liked to change her décor for every season. Because of Wendy, the women in our family knew to never leave the house without a little bit of Lipstick and apply “Oil of Olay – twice a day.” These are just some of the important life lessons she taught us. She also taught us that life waits for no one but if you’re stubborn enough, you can slow down time just long enough to ensure your family is going to be ok. Wendy was the heart of her family and constantly made sure everyone was taken care of – even in the end. Her perseverance, inner strength and love for her family and friends are what made her so undeniably special to everyone who knew her.
