Our beloved wife, mother, sister, daughter and friend, age 35, passed away from an automobile accident on Nov. 10, 2007. She was born in Murray, Utah on Nov. 26, 1971 to Norman L. and Nancy Adamson Forbush.
She married her high school sweetheart Jason Allen McDonald on Oct. 13, 1990 in New Harmony, Utah. The marriage was solemnized Nov. 29, 1991 in the St. George Temple. Wendy graduated from Cedar City High School in 1990. She graduated in May 2007 from SUU receiving high honors from both schools.
Wendy taught first grade at Enoch Elementary. She loved and adored her 25 children and the staff with all her heart. Wendy was an active member of the Enoch Homestead 2nd LDS Ward serving in Relief Society, Young Womens, and cub scouts organizations.
Wendy had a long 6-year battle with kidney failure and dialysis until a good Samaritan named Steve Crump of Salt Lake City, Utah donated a kidney. Wendy and her family would like to give thanks and prayers to the Crump family. Through all her trials she never complained and was always busy doing service for others.
