It is with great sadness that I must report the news of Wendy O.'s death. On April 6th, 1998, Wendy Orlean Williams chose to end her life, to the chagrin of us all. Wendy's death is truly a tragedy--she wasn't a simple "shock rocker" as the media so often dubbed her; she was a very caring and conscientous person. Wendy took her own life, an act which was quite shocking to many of us--we expected her to go out with a bang, in some stunt accident or in the midst of some wild exploit. Most people will remember Wendy for her wild stage antics and her pushing of the obscenity envelope, but there was so much more to her. It's important that this isn't forgotten amidst all the crass media reports, once again . . . Wendy, we'll miss you!
Donations in Wendy's memory can be made to:
The Quiet Corner Wildlife Center
109 Ashford Center Road
Ashford, CT 06276
Wendy has requested that flowers not be sent, and that a donation to the above be made in its place. Efforts have been made by Bill Skid and I to obtain a contact address for Rod Swenson and Wendy's family, for those wishing to send a condolence. Unfortunately, we haven't been successful and all of our contacts have been dead ends. We'll keep you updated . . .Wendy is dead!
Long live Wendy O. Williams!
