They married in June 1997. In 1999, they adopted each other's children and in 2001 they had Kamryn, and that made them a family of 8.

In March of 2005, the family moved from Wills Point, TX to Williston, ND where they started over in life to be closer to Wendy's side of the family. She adored her "dad" Roger.
Wendy worked as an administrative assistant with oilfield corporations until 2019.

Wendy loved to go camping every weekend of the summer and hanging out at the lake with her children and 12 grandchildren. She was always a listening ear when anyone needed advice, or just someone to talk to.
