In Loving Memory of Wendy Lee
July 25, 1956 – October 7, 2025

Wendy Lee, born on July 25, 1956, in Harlem, New York, was a force of nature—a brave, fearless, and beautiful soul whose presence lit up every room she entered. She was more than a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend—she was the heartbeat of her family and the lifeline to many.

Wendy was the embodiment of strength, grace, and love. She was fierce in her loyalty, wise beyond measure, and always full of joy and positive energy. She had a unique gift for making people feel important, seen, and cherished. She was brilliant, creative, and always had the best ideas—especially when it came to caring for those she loved. To her daughter, Devynn, she was not just a mom, but a best friend, a safe place, and her whole world.

She was preceded in death by beloved family members: her grandmother Ruth Prey; her mother Gloria Lee; her sister Carol; her brothers Stevie, Kevin, and Brett; her grandson Dhamoni; and loved ones Russell "Butch" Reid and Herbert "Al" Allen. Though they are no longer here, their memories live on in those who remain.

Wendy is survived by her children: Shannon, Devynn, and Courtney. She leaves behind her cherished grandchildren: Sonseray, Courtney Jr., Aveyon, Azel, Courjon, and Mylife. She was also a proud great-grandmother to Kaizen, Khalil, and Navangeli Chyna. Her legacy will live on in each of them—in their laughter, strength, and love.

There are no words that can fully describe the type of superwoman Wendy was. Her life cannot be summed up in a single paragraph, because she was everything: joy, love, warmth, and resilience. And she was loved—by her children, her grandchildren, and all who were blessed enough to call her friend.

Wendy Lee will never be forgotten. Her spirit remains alive in every life she touched, and her love will echo for generations.
