Wendi Lucarellie was born in Mission Viejo, California eight minutes after her twin sister, Aimee.
Her childhood was spent in California where she attended Mission Hills Christian School and was then homeschooled through high school. She was an ‘A’ student. She later moved to Silverton, Oregon and attended beauty college, becoming a hair stylist for many years. She eventually moved to Salem, Oregon. Her children were always her top priority. She enjoyed collecting fairies, stitching embroidery and cooking. She loved celebrating and decorating with her children for the holidays.
She was preceded in death by her father, Yvan Pierre Fleurant; her grandmother, Phillipine Marguerite Runnings; and her nephew, Josiah O’Linger.
She leaves behind her children, Alexandria Lucarellie, Connor Lucarellie and Erynne Symmons; her mother, Alice Shawhan (Ken); sisters, Kelli Rhoden, Holly Simpson (Tom), Aimee Harmon – her twin, and Katie Giesbrecht (Ben); as well as, David Simmons and Jim O’Linger; her aunt, Marsha Gorter (Pete); and nieces, Jessica Richardson, Lilian and Adelaide Giesbrecht; nephew, Justin Simpson; first and second cousins; and Ruth Hargreaves.
Wendi’s life was far too short and she is missed by all who loved her. Her family are grateful for the years God entrusted her to us. She remains forever in their hearts.
