Wendy was born on March 2, 1979, in Evanston, IL to Phyllis and the late Lawrence Burg. She passed away on Thursday, January 26, 2023.
Wendy’s spirit was strong and bright while here on earth. She laughed with her whole body and had a sense of right and wrong that led her to start her own business. Her love of advocacy and later in life spirituality made Wendy a force to be reckoned with. She appreciated people for their different nationalities, racial identities, sexual identities, and the list goes on. Wendy enjoyed talking to people, photography, watching TV, listening to music, gardening, and being in nature. What she adored most of all was children. She helped many as an amazing speech language pathologist for the last 16 years. Her steadfast commitment and jovial nature made her exceptional.
Wendy is the loving wife of Aran, mother of Logan, and sister of Daniel Burg.

I’m think of Wendy and how happy she made me whenever I talked with her. Deepest condolences and love to her whole family
This world lost a genuinely good person in Wendy. She was the kind of friend that everyone needs to have. She will be missed.
Wendy was a strong independent woman and a loving cousin. Amazing sense of humor.
An amazing and warm person and a terrific mom! May her memory be for a blessing.
Now that the noise has died down we are still reeling over Wendy’s untimely death— too young and too much loved. Everyone will miss her. She is there watching over you always. Alive in your heart forever.
