Wendi loved to sing and perform. She had the voice of an angel. She enjoyed theater and music and was involved in the Grand Rapids Civic Theater, KCC theater, GVSU theater, and the Battle Creek Community Chorus to name a few. It is with the BCCC that she met her beloved husband, Keith Baker. They were married August 12, 2000 in Battle Creek and during their 20 years of marriage resided in Plainwell, Battle Creek, Midland, and Coldwater.
Wendi loved family. Staying home to raise her three children, Riley, Carter, and Morgan brought her such joy. They loved their many trips to the zoo, aquariums, the beach, the Calhoun County and Branch County fairs, and spending time with extended family as often as possible. She adored her time with her parents, sisters, nieces, and nephews. Family was such a gift to her and a priority.
Wendi loved the Lord. She was active in the Wheeler Road Church of Christ (Midland, Michigan), 20th Street Church of Christ (Battle Creek, Michigan) and Coldwater Church of Christ. There she was involved in Vacation Bible School and loved being part of the children’s programs.
Wendi is survived by her husband of 20 years (Keith); her three beautiful children, Riley, Carter, and Morgan, all of Coldwater; her parents, Dan and Pat Parrott of Battle Creek; sisters Marcie (Josh) Hydrick and Danielle (Mark) Hosking, both of Battle Creek; grandmother Eleanor Cope, of Battle Creek; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Norman and Laura Leeser, and grandfather, Gaines Cope.
