In Memory Of
Wendy Mcfarland
Wendy Mcfarland
Wendy Sue McFarland passed away February 24, 2005, at the age of 50 after losing consciousness from an undiagnosed diabetic condition.
Like her mother, Betty Smith McFarland, Wendy was an exceptionally warm, kind, and caring person. No one remained a stranger to her. Clinical depression stole much of life's joy from her-but did not stop her from bringing joy to the lives of others. She was absolutely committed in her personal and professional life to equal rights for all-regardless of race, culture, age, sexual identity, or disability. Whether she was working as a waitperson at the family restaurant, Legislative Lobbyist for the American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas and Western Missouri, General Manager of Gage Park Train and Carousel, Special Events Coordinator to Governor Finney, or in customer service for the Topeka Water Department - Wendy was respectful and caring of those she served. She touched many lives.
Wendy was preceded in death by her parents, Carl and Betty.
It was Wendy's wish that there be no memorial service. Given her lifelong love of animals, remembrances may be made to the Helping Hands Humane Society, 2625 NW Rochester Rd., Topeka, KS 66617-1201.
Newcomer Family Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. A special message for the family may be left at www.newcomerfamily.com.
