Wendy graduated from Walled Lake Central High School in 1955 and received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Wayne State University. She spent the majority of her 50-year nursing career in the psychiatric field, as a psychiatric nurse, dual diagnosis counselor, and psychiatric nursing instructor.
She is survived by her husband of 44 years, Errol Koos of Farmington Hills; her children Scott Armstrong of Ann Arbor, Errol Koos Jr. (Julie) of Macomb, and Heidi Breeden (Wade) of Seattle; and her brother Bob Beaser (MaryAnn) of Ann Arbor. She was preceded in death by her two sons, Todd and Christian. She is also survived by her beloved grandchildren James, Jack, Nina, and Alex.
Wendy was known to all as perhaps the kindest and most loving soul possible. With a delightful sense of humor and taste for adventure, she embraced the joys of life even while bravely guiding her family through its challenges. Her love of experiencing new places lent itself to traveling throughout Europe, and living in her beloved San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle, and Toronto as well as her native Michigan.
The loss of our dear Wendy – deeply loved wife, mother, sister, grandma – is immeasurable. But we know her faith in God guided her in all she did, and we are blessed to know that she is now with Him and her sons.
A memorial service will be planned for spring/summer 2021. She will rest at Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the St. Louis Center, 16195 Old U.S. 12, Chelsea, MI 48118.
