She also loved all the children in the Cheney School District; where she worked for over twenty years and was better known as simply, the lunch lady.

In her spare time Wendy was a published poet and loved sewing, embroidery, gardening, and most of all baking.

She made some of the best deserts that any well-known chef would be envious of.

Wendy is preceded in death by her parents Leon and Frances Mayfield, as well as her sister Melinda Phelps who also battled cancer and are all missed greatly to this day.

She is survived by her beloved husband Wayne Kelly Cook; children Jason Mayfield, Stormie Cook and Brandon Cook all from Medical Lake, WA; a brother Donald Mayfield; sisters Connie Heatherly, Becky Yearout, Donna Mackey and Lisa Zimmerman; as well as four grandchildren: Alyssa Mayfield, Tayah Mayfield, Cameron Mayfield and Cheyenne Hood.
