Wendy Jean Worman, 65, passed away unexpectedly, Sunday, July 25, 2016, at her home in Fort Wayne. She was born to the late Clifford Dale and Ruth Laura (Harnishfeger) Worman on April 24, 1951, in Fort Wayne.

She leaves behind her son: Brian (Suzie) Bohde; grandsons: Brock Paul; and Brayden Mathew Bohde, Ligonier; sisters: Patricia O’Reilly, South Whitley; Bette Jane (Lyle) Baron, Columbia City; brother: Dennis (Mary) Worman, Grabill; and uncle: Dick (Lois) Worman, Auburn; along with numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents: Clifford and Ruth Worman; son: Paul James Bohde; sisters: Maxine Webber; Glenna Wormna; brother: Steven Worman; and brother-in-law: Russel “Gene” O’Reilly.

Wendy had a lot of talent and many skills. As a child she spent a lot of time with her siblings at the Big Long Lake. She worked for many years with an exceptional work ethic for the Kidd’s Marshmallow Factory and for Supervalu, Inc. She loved to cook, go out to eat, visit at garage sales, hang out with her two cats, baking pineapple cake and reading books. Above all of this, her true passion was being an exceptional mother to her son Brian, and grandmother to her two grandsons, Brock Paul and Brayden Mathew. They made many memories camping, playing with remote control cars, and jetting to and from the hobby shop.

A funeral service in Wendy’s honor will be held at 5 p.m. Sunday, July 31, at Yeager Funeral Home, Ligonier. Pastor James Farrer will officiate. To honor Wendy’s wishes a graveside service will not be taking place.

Family and friends will be received from 2-5 p.m. Sunday, July 31, at Yeager Funeral Home.

Memorial contributions may be directed to the Ronald McDonald House, Fort Wayne, or the Humane Society of Fort Wayne, Fort Wayne.
