Wendy Lee Heuchert March 10, 1957 – January 15, 2017 Wendy passed away peacefully in the early morning of January 15, 2017 with her daughter and son-in-law by her side. Wendy was born March 10, 1957 at the Regina General Hospital to John and Eleanor Heuchert, the eldest of three children. Wendy lived an incredible 59 years. She was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic at age 10, and this inspired her to go into a career of nursing.

Wendy started working at the Regina General Hospital, transferred to the Plains, and then transferred to the Pasqua Hospital. She also worked as an RN for the Paul Schwann Centre. She loved her job and had over 35 years of dedicated service. She worked in many different departments over the years, however Day Surgery at the Pasqua was her favourite. She encompassed everything it meant to be a nurse and care for others in every aspect of her daily life. Wendy also had many hobbies and she liked to be active. She loved to flower garden and spend time in her yard(s). Some of her other favourite activities were playing golf, skiing, travelling, volunteering, reading, baking, and card-playing with her family. Wendy made many friends, and liked to get together for coffee or tea anytime. She enjoyed watching the Saskatchewan Roughriders and took every opportunity to cheer them on.

She is survived by her mother, Eleanor Heuchert; brothers, Wesley (Theresa) and Bradley (Jocelyn); partner, Ken Mazur and daughter Sage Kuderewko (Michael Rosloot).
