Wendy Anne Nielsen; April 6, 1952 - April 25, 2014. It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to the most caring, giving and loving wife, Mom, Gramma, sister, aunt and friend. She lived her life for others, always there to help when needed. She was an entrepreneur, Chairperson for Citizens for Better Mental Health and advocate for all. Wendy Anne Nielsen (nee Brown) passed away peacefully after a brief but hard fought battle with cancer at age 62. She is survived by her husband of 40 years, Ejnar (Ike), 3 children Michael, Shayley and Michelle. Her granddaughter Nevada, sister Susan Johnson, father Robert Johnson, and many nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her mother Nelly (1984), father Frederick (1954), sister Brenda (1989), brother Robert (1958). We know she will be watching over us all until we meet again. We all love you and you will be greatly missed. In lieu of flowers please donate to the Burnaby General Hospital Palliative care unit. Services will be held at the Garden Hill Funeral Chapel, 11765 224th St., Maple Ridge on May 3, 2014 at 11am.
