Ask her to sing any piece from the musical comedies in which she's performed over the years - she remembers them all. (Trust us. She knows them all. We are beginning to memorize them, too.)
Besides singing, Wendy loves to cook and spend time with her two children. She is very involved in her church, Rotary International and her community.
