WENDY BOYSEN Obituary
Wendy loved to ride horses, go off-roading, ride rollercoasters, listen to her music as loud as possible and lay by the pool. She worked a variety of jobs, but her favorite was designing and selling pools. She also loved her cats and watching her favorite TV show, "Grey's Anatomy." She was a vibrant soul who was always ready to try new things. She loved being in the Santa Cruz Mountains and giving her daughters multiple nicknames.
Wendy is survived by her children, Heather Lyn Kuykendall and Haylee Elizabeth Whitt (Phillips); father and stepmother James and Marcie Mesnard; sister and brother-in-law Brigitte Boysen and Mark Foster; nephews Sheldon and Sawyer Foster; uncle, Tom Bakke, and his wife, Linda; and two stepbrothers and their families.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Constance "Connie" Boysen; stepfather, Robert "Bob" Boysen; and grandmother Esther Reidenour.
A celebration of life will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 7, at First Presbyterian Church of Ripon, at 305 W. Boesch Drive in Ripon.
