Wendy graduated from Academy High School and at the age of 52 graduated Summa Cum Laude from Mercyhurst University. She worked as an assistant to the manager of Prudential Insurance Company and then as an office manager for her husband Daniel's New York Life Insurance Business.

As a child, Wendy learned to love music and mastered the Violin and often played alongside her sister Deborah. Wendy was a supportive and caring mother of two children Briana and Danny. While raising her children, she could always be found caring for her vegetable and flower garden in the summer, on the sidelines cheering on her children during sporting events in the fall, cooking her delicious spaghetti sauce on cold winter mornings or knitting loved ones afghans in the evening, walking her dogs (Sparky, Maddie, or Roxie) in the brisk spring air. She always had a quick witted joke or comment on hand when interacting with her family and friends. Wendy was also a friend of Bill W. and was loved by many.
