King and together they bore and raised nine children, spending each summer in Chatham until they became full-time residents here in 1974. In 1982, Wendy was re-married to William C.

In the 1960s she competed on several Prosser Cup woman's sailing teams for the Stage Harbor Yacht Club, where she became an honorary lifetime member. A descendent of China Trade sea captains, Wendy also raised a strong brood of sailors and modern-day master mariners as several of her children grew to skipper crab and salmon fishing vessels in Alaska for many years.

Among organizations she served were the Chatham Drama Guild, where she was a member for more than 50 years; the Creative Arts Center , which she helped organize; the Chatham Council on Aging; and the Nereid Network, in association with the Cape Cod Commercial Hook Fishermen's Association.

Wendy's family and friends remember her for her vast pride in her children, her creative prowess as an artist and illustrator of children's books, her passion for history and family folklore, her love of sports and her dogs, and most of all for her generous spirit which attracted life long friends of all ages and all walks of life
