Updates 08/16/2025: Thank you everyone for the donations, shares, positive vibes and prayers. It means the world to us. Unfortunately we found out this week that our mom’s life insurance will be of no use to us. Her death was not deemed accidental and her policy had not matured yet. We need all the help we can get to bring our mom home and have services. We currently cannot pick up her aches till invoice has been paid in full. Both my sister and I have families to take care of, kids in school, car payments, land payments and animals to feed as well. Any help is greatly appreciated. Even just a share or positive vibes our way. We desperately want to bring her home and have services so we may start the grieving process. Thank you!

Some of you knew our mom as Wanda, some knew her as Wendy and even Wicked. We knew her as Mom. Our mom went into surgery on August 5, 2025 to replace her pace maker but never came home due to unexpected complications. She was only 55 years old.

Some people knew her as an amazing photographer or an artist, we knew her as mom and grandma. Nothing can express the shock my sister and I are still processing as well as our families. She was so close to her grand babies, such a proud grandma or as she would say “Glamma”.

My sister and her family, myself and my family are struggling to start the grieving process for we still do not believe it. We could use all the help we can get with cremation, funeral and travel expenses. We both have families to take care of and we were not prepared.

She is being cremated in Kansas City and she wants some of her ashes to go back to Arizona.

We will have updates on when we will have her celebration of life soon.
