Sandy Wendling

Sandy Wendling (nee Glaser) 79

Killer golf game, wizard at bridge, extraordinary seamstress, impeccable sense of style, and famous for her pies…particularly lemon meringue, but most of all she was a kind and loving mother, wife, sister, daughter, and friend.  Sandy Wendling was suddenly called home on Saturday, March 20.  She was born in Bromley, KY to Bill and Frieda Glaser in 1943 and married Bill Wendling in 1961, with whom she had two children.  For many years she was dedicated to the care of her daughter, Paige, who was born with a congenital heart defect.  Later in life she returned to school earning certification as a typesetter.  She subsequently traveled the world visiting every continent except Antarctica.  She was a consummate hostess known for gatherings where everyone was welcome.  She was active at Erlanger Christian Church where she passionately supported the weekly Blessing Box, Whiz Kids and women’s activities.  Sandy was preceded in death by her daughter, her parents, her husband of 51 years and one of her closest friends, Mary Lou Wilde.  She leaves behind her son Mark (Mindy) Wendling of Fairfield, OH, grandsons Kyle and Zach, brother Dave (Terry) Glaser of Waukegan, IL and a multitude of family and friends.  Visitation at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 27 @ Erlanger Christian Church followed by a memorial service @ 3:00 p.m.  Charitable donations may be made to Children’s Heart Association (www.chaoc.org) and to Erlanger Christian Church (www.erlangerdisciples.org).  To share a story or to leave condolences, please go to: www.linnemannfuneralhomes.com
