Wendy Michelle Lauderdale, 68, a cherished resident of Loon Lake and Deer Park for many years, passed away peacefully at her home in Deer Park on July 22, 2024.

Born to Bruce and Nancy (Ward) Lauderdale, Wendy grew up on a farm in Deer Park, where she was the eldest of seven siblings.

Her distinctive laugh was well known and will be fondly remembered by all who knew her.
