Prayers for our member James Buie as today we celebrate his wife's life.

In Loving Memory of Wendy Buie

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Wendy Buie, who departed this world on September 23, 2026. Born on July 8, 1971, in Manchester, Tennessee, Wendy was a beacon of warmth, kindness, and unwavering love to all who knew her. Her journey on this earth was marked by her infectious personality and her deep compassion for both people and animals alike.

Wendy was a cherished daughter to Jack Arthur and Linda Sue Clements, who predeceased her. She shared a beautiful marriage with her beloved husband, James Buie, whom she wed on May 18, 1997. Together, they built a life filled with love and joy, raising two wonderful children, Emily and Brady Buie. Wendy’s family was her pride and joy, and she was a devoted grandmother to six precious grandchildren.

A graduate of Manchester Central High School, Class of 1989, Wendy went on to excel in her career, holding a managerial position in the hospitality industry and also serving as a bookkeeper and receptionist for her father's business. Her professionalism and dedication were admired by colleagues and clients alike.

Wendy was a devoted member of New Union Baptist Church, where she found solace and community. She had a rare ability to connect with every soul she encountered, a testament to her belief that there was no such thing as a stranger. Her love for animals was unparalleled, and she often cared for stray animals, finding joy in offering them comfort and care.

Wendy’s legacy is carried on by her loving husband, James, her children, Emily and Brady, her siblings, Traci and Randy Robertson, Robert Clements, and Amy Grieves, along with her treasured grandchildren. Her family and friends will forever remember the warmth of her smile, the sound of her laughter, and the kindness she extended to all.

In tribute to Wendy’s generous spirit, the family kindly suggests that donations be made to a charity of your choice, honoring her lifelong commitment to helping others.

Wendy's life was a testament to love, compassion, and kindness, and her memory will remain eternally in the hearts of those fortunate enough to have known her.
