Wendy loved everyone, and was loved by everyone.

Wendy attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and received her BA in Accounting and CPA certification.  Wendy quickly found her professional home at EY in Public Audit and Human Resources.  She established deep personal connections to colleagues all over the world and brought sincere happiness to everyone throughout her career.

Wendy and Ryan married on July 5th, 2008 and lived in Chicago and Hoffman Estates, IL.  Along with her husband and children, Charlie (7) and Henry (4), Wendy loved spending time at their family cabin in Wisconsin, taking trips to parks and Disney World, watching family movies, pool parties at Techter beach and Schuman shores, long walks outside, reading to her children, and simply spending every possible moment with her family.

Above all else, Wendy’s commitment to the happiness of others is what defined her life.
