Wendy Lawson Sayre's Obituary
In Loving memory of Wendy Diane Lawson Sayre, age 56. Wendy was born on August 13, 1968, in Dallas, Texas. She was called to her eternal home on January 6, 2025, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Wendy is survived by her mother, Mary Lawson; her children, Justin Sayre and wife Emily, Heather Sayre; grandchildren Kynslee, Cason, and Ryan; Brother Bruce Lawson and wife Peggy, and her special friend and sister of choice, Laryssa Johnson. She also has many uncles, aunts, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Wendy was preceded in death by her father, Eugene Lawson
Everyone who had the pleasure of knowing and loving Wendy will always be reminded of her infectious smile and huge heart. Someone who always spread love and kindness to everyone, even those she did not know. Her greatest joy was being “Mimi” to her beautiful grandchildren, who she loved dearly. Her passion was being an animal lover. She cared for her dogs and cats with such empathy and love. Her animals were her world.
The family extends its’ heartfelt gratitude to her cousin, Guy Slaymaker who graciously cared for Wendy throughout her hard-fought battle with cancer. Her cherished childhood friend of 45 years, Laryssa Johnson, provided daily love and support and ensured she received the best care, treatment, and doctors to meet her every need. We are grateful for all the doctors, nurses and medical staff who cared deeply for her with unwavering support and compassion. We are grateful for the many people who lifted Wendy and our family up in prayer for healing and strength over these past months. We can rejoice with confidence that she is now fully healed and has been safely taken to her eternal home.
Wendy will be deeply and lovingly missed by all her family and friends; may she rest in peace.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to her favorite animal shelter.
