Wendy was ordained in 1979 and retired in 2015 after serving for four years in Kenora and thirty-two years in Windsor. In July 2019, I moved to Kitchener from Windsor with my husband, Scott, and in October 2020, I started working part-time as the Pastoral Care Coordinator at St. Andrew’s. It is a joy for me to work with the Deacons and the Prayer Group, officiate at funerals, assist in worship (and sometimes preach) and make countless phone calls.

Pastoral Care is my ‘dream job,’ and I am thrilled to be serving God in this way.

My other passion is our six grandchildren – five girls and one boy. None of them live in Kitchener, but we visit back and forth as often as possible.

We go for walks almost every day, do WORDLE, and watch sports on T.V. Go, Blue Jays, Go!!! I love to swim, and recently I started playing pickleball which I like even better because it is more social.
