Wendi Lee Boyes, born January 30, 1946, at Sacred Heart Hospital in Fort Madison, Iowa, passed away peacefully Thursday, April 17, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, care, and service.
Wendi was preceded in death by her mother, Helen (Peters Presho) Grimwood; father, John Presho; grandparents, Fred Presho and Hazel (Meyer) Presho; sister, Cosette Klecka; and brothers, Steven Grimwood and Ronald Grimwood.
She is survived by her nephews, Kris Klecka, Kevin Klecka, and Justin Grimwood; her dear friend, Linda Howell; numerous great-nieces and great-nephews; goddaughters; and many cherished friends and families for whom she lovingly babysat over the years.
A 1964 graduate of Sandusky High School, Wendi devoted her life to caring for others in many capacities. She worked as a nurse's aide at Memorial Hospital and later attended cosmetology school in Columbus, becoming a licensed cosmetologist and instructor for many years. Her professional path also included working as a waitress at Sandusky Yacht Club and as a teacher's aide at Betty Rinderle School in Erie County until the program's closure in 1993.
For many years, Wendi provided childcare to neighborhood families and was a beloved presence in the community. A longtime resident of Huron, Ohio, she was active in her faith and attended both Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church and Huron United Methodist Church.

I had the pleasure of working with Wendi while a substitute teacher at Betty Rinderle. Her love, patience, personableness, knowledge, and professionalism with her wee ones as well as her colleagues has been what I have remembered of her many years passed. To Wendi's family and friends who were closest to her, continue to carry precious memories of her in your hearts. She will always be with you, never far, but close for she dwells in your hearts.
