The Greatest Girl in the World

Hallowed wife of Dr. EJ Hanhart, Sr. and cherished mother of E’Lizabeth Jules Hanhart, Edward Julius Hanhart, Jr. and Ellie Jeanne Hanhart, beloved sister of Joanne Saucier, Lance Jerrell and Leigh Stogner

Survived by mother Sharon Knight, spouse of Steve Naquin

Wendy was born October 13, 1969 and her earthly life ended June 5, 2024

She graduated from Columbia Academy and the University of Southern Mississippi. For many years she served the area as a BSN Nurse and manager, ultimately earning her Masters Family Nurse Practitioner from Loyola University. She practiced primary care and occupational medicine. Many of the obstacles Wendy overcame seemed insurmountable, yet she navigated them with grace, remaining a happy servant to all God’s people and animals. While her death is a tragic loss, she and her family want everyone to remember Heaven is real, and a meeting with our creator occurs either now or later. She is washed by the blood that is a free gift by grace through faith in Christ. Today she is dancing for Jesus without any worry, pain or suffering. We can only imagine the joy!
