Wendy Louise Stryke Boorn, 76, passed on May 18th, 2021 at the Hospice
of the Valley Eckstein Center after a brief and unexpected illness.
She was born on March 9th, 1945, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to
Frank and Margaret Stryke, who are predeceased, as is her beloved
Great Dane, Sweetie. She is survived by her dearly loved family that
includes her sister, Judy Mieger (Chuck Rinehart), daughter, Kim (Ray)
Powell, and son, Doug Boorn (Tammie Holt), and her three
grandchildren, Kevin (Jessie) Powell, Tyler Boorn, and Sheryl Powell.

Wendy attended Bucknell University (B.A. English) and ASU (Master's in
Counseling). Wendy's mission in life was to make a difference in this
world. She had hundreds of clients who could speak of the profound
difference she had made in their lives with her wise counsel. Her
family and friends could tell innumerable stories about how she made a
difference in their lives by her deep caring, by sharing her many
passions in life, and by her loving cards and letters.

Wendy was passionate about her grandchildren, expressing gratitude,
sharing good food, beautiful trees, longtime friendships, music, art,
and spirituality. For those who would like to donate money to one of
the causes that she loved, please do so in her memory to the Desert
Botanical Gardens and/or the Phoenix Chorale.
