Born on September 19, 1964, in Granger, Utah, Wendi’s life journey was colored by the warmth of family and the serenity of her upbringing. Her formative years on a small farm in Olathe, Colorado, allowed her to develop a deep connection with nature and a strong sense of the value of hard work; values instilled in her by her father and mother, Jack and Valita Prisbrey. These foundational principles became the cornerstones of Wendi’s remarkable life.

Wendi possessed an innate ability to connect with people, transcending differences and forging friendships that stood the test of time. Her genuine kindness and unwavering support provided solace in times of joy and challenge alike. From her early years protecting her older sister to her unwavering loyalty in marriage, Wendi’s compassion knew no bounds.
On August 27, 1983, Wendi embarked on a lifelong journey of love and companionship with her high school sweetheart, John Edward Muzzy. Their love led them through the Navy life in San Diego and later across the country, embracing the adventures of his truck driving career.
