She played piano and sang in the choir at church and was active in both the California United Methodist Church and the Belle Vernon Presbyterian Church. She volunteered at the Hallsworth House, wrote letters to prisoners at the Westmoreland County Prison and actively donated to various charities. Wendy loved feeling the sunshine!
