Mary "Bibbie" Elizabeth (Conder) Wentz

Bibbie was a graduate of Charlotte Tech High School, Class of ’45. She lived her faith with quiet strength and steady devotion, and Bibbie will be remembered most for her dedication to God and her family.

A former member of Belmont Park United Methodist Church, Bibbie was also a charter member of University City United Methodist Church. Her life reflected a sincere commitment to her church community and the values she held dear.

Bibbie found joy in the simple, meaningful moments of life. She enjoyed cooking and baking—especially brownies and pound cakes—and treasured fishing trips shared with her family. These everyday traditions became lasting memories for those who loved her.

Bibbie was preceded in death by her husband, Robert W. Wentz, Sr.; her father, Thomas Lonnie Conder; her mother, Ina Hargett Conder; and five brothers and five sisters.

She is survived by her son, Robert W. Wentz, Jr. (Cathy); her daughters, Sandra House (Tom) and Susan Elkins (Ron); her grandchildren, Julie Wentz, Jill Story, Melissa Nichols (Stephan), Brad House, Wes Elkins, and Tyler Elkins; and her great-grandchildren, Emily Nichols, Beckett House, Carolina Story, and Jude Story. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
