WENDY HELEN ISAAC

Our dear Wendy took her last breath while in the loving presence of her husband Mark, siblings and in-laws, at home in Winnipeg on Tuesday February 17, 2026.

Her mother Lyn left us just over a year ago, and her father Phil, in June of 2021. She leaves her spouse and musical partner of 38 years, Mark H. Block, and her devoted feline Lucy to imagine life without her.

Wendy leaves three siblings, Peter, Jane (Mackie) and Sarah (Chapnick) and their spouses and issue to remember her every year at this time.

Wendy was a practiced and passionate follower of songwriting and performance, gardening, painting, weather, birds, metalwork, sailing and politics. She was an ardent and faithful Canadian, a promoter of pluralism and equity, a campaigner for fairness and the kind of progressive values that puts Canada head and shoulders above so many places that don't even bother trying.

Thanks so much to the wonderful oncology staff at Cancer Care, the Palliative Care home visit nurses and much love to the skilled health teams on 6E and 8A at St Boniface Hospital. Donations may be made to either of the two Care organizations listed above.
