Wendy was born on January 20, 1950 in Long Beach, CA. She grew up mostly in California, but spent portions of her childhood in Colorado and New York as well. She returned to Burbank, CA as a teen and graduated from John Burroughs High School in 1968. On April 18, 1970, she married Charles (Chuck) Morrow. They raised one daughter, Stephanie, and made their life in Moorpark, CA.
In 2000, Wendy and Chuck moved to Oxnard Shores to live at "the beach," a lifelong dream of Wendy's. She was the Office Manager for Rio Farms for 38 years. Her work family brought her great joy and were some of her closest friends.
She loved her family, especially her grandchildren, who were spoiled beyond belief by their "Gigi." Wendy had a bright and fun spirit and made friends wherever she went. She'd greet her friends with a, "Hi my love," or a "Hi honey," and always made sure to make everyone feel loved and welcomed. She was also a huge animal lover and treated her pets as her children.
Wendy was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Margaret Laurell, and by her husband Chuck. She is survived by her daughter Stephanie Janisse (Brendan,) and her grandchildren Owen, Avery and Charlie.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 11 o'clock a.m. on Friday, December 14th at the Pacific Corinthian Yacht Club in Oxnard, CA.
In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made in Wendy's memory to the American Cancer Society or to any animal rescue or animal shelter in your area."
