Our "Winnie Pooh," a native of Columbia, TN was born June 4, 1977 to Eddie and Peggy Gray with beautiful blue eyes with a smile that charmed all who saw it. She was a bright light in our lives, enthusiastic in all she did. She enjoyed outdoors, music, fashion, horseback riding, road trips, swimming, camping, skating, and church camp. She loved and immersed herself in the joy of life, adored by all who met or knew her. She started her education in Highland Park Elementary, Whitthorne Middle School, Culleok School, and Heritage Christian Academy. The joy of Wendy's existence began with the journey of motherhood.
