Wendy's obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Wendy Doeh, on September 25, 2025. Born on July 5, 1936, Wendy lived a life full of adventure, joy, and shared wisdom, touching the lives of many with her charm, wit, and warm heart.
Wendy was an extraordinary woman, a lover of life and all its pleasures. She found solace in the simple things, like a good bar of chocolate, her favorite movie, "Gone with the Wind," and the calming hue of blue, her favored color. She had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and an undeniable love for travel, exploring the world far and wide, making each destination part of her cherished memories.
One of Wendy's most beloved haunts included the King Harbor Yacht Club, where she would spend hours engrossed in sailing and socializing, among other things. The Getty Museum was another local favorite, her appreciation for art and history bringing her there often.
Known for her grammatical precision, Wendy was quick to share one of her favorite lessons: "People are well, things taste good." Indeed, she was not one to shirk her responsibility as a guardian of the English language, and many are better speakers today because of her careful instruction.
She leaves behind a legacy of love and vibrant life. Her surviving family includes her devoted partner, James Lissner, loving daughter Tamara Doeh, cherished sons David and Cole Doeh, caring sister Shirley Chaffin, and brother Mack Owen. Her dear sister, Sally Contreras, and brother, Roger Standridge, also survive her, carrying forward shared memories of sisterhood and brotherhood.
A celebration of Wendy's life, appropriately, will be held at the King Harbor Yacht Club on February 28, 2026, from 12:00 to 3:00 PM. Here, we will share stories, remembrances, and celebrate the beautiful life that Wendy led.
A burial at sea will embark at the KHYC main dock at 9:30 AM.
In the lives she touched and the love she shared, Wendy's memories will forever remain a beacon of her uniquely ardent spirit. May she rest in peace.
