She attended Bothel School and later married John R Currier. The two of them had three beautiful girls. They lived on Whidby Island at the time. But, several years later, in 1980, Wendy and her girls moved to Tonasket. There, Wendy married PeeWee Veit. They raise their five kids on a Ranch in Aeneas Valley.

In 1995, Wendy married her God-sent husband Ronald Dave Wolfe. The two of them farmed hay and had a trucking business for 28 years. Wendy retired from nursing in 2001.

Wendy was a force of nature with her unique personality and lively spirit, which extended to her family, friends, and last but not least, all her four-legged furry companions.

Wendy was a God-fearing, loving, life of the party, fun-having mom, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, grandma, g. grams and a true, honest friend to all in her circle. She loved the outdoors. Wendy loved to camp, fish and sit by the campfire with friends and family with her blaring music. Wendy loved her animals. Her kids would often tell her when they came back, they wanted to come back as one of her animals. Her animals were very spoiled. She grew a passion for barrel racing years ago. Her last barrel race was at the age of 72.
