Wendy Elizabeth James died on April 1, 2018, at the age of 28 in a tragic situation in Shoreline, WA, at a supported living apartment. Wendy’s brain was donated to the University of California, Davis, Mind Institute in Sacramento, CA, which is the National institute of Health’s Neuro Biobank. Wendy was born on June 10, 1989, in Bellevue, WA. She went to Sammamish High School for four years and graduated from the Transition Center at Interlake High School in Bellevue, WA. She played the violin in the SHS orchestra all four years and was a short distance runner on the SHS track team all four years. Wendy was an artist, writer, and music lover. Wendy liked rainbows and made a collage of rainbow pictures. One of Wendy’s wishes was to visit all 50 states. She attended a wedding in Idaho, visited relatives in Oregon, and went on a family vacation to Glacier National Park in Montana. One of Wendy’s favorite places to visit was Rocky Bay, where she got together with the extended family, went on beach walks, played in the sand, and enjoyed swinging with a view of the water. Wendy was preceded in death by her grandparents, Don and Lucille James. She is survived by her parents, David and Heidi James; her sister, Bonnie Grigoryan; her grandparents, Jean and Pat Cummins; her aunts and uncles, Clint Cummins and Nancy Kerrebrock, Erin and Devin Hersey, Heather and Bruce Tollbom, Tom and Camille James, Linda James and Kym Dye; and her cousins, Renata Cummins, Skyler Cummins, Lance Cummins, Kyle Hersey, Ryan Hersey, Keeton Hersey, Emma Tollbom, Nathan Tollbom, Stephanie Tollbom, Camille Tollbom, Lydia James, and Julia James.
