​Wendy Parry of Tiverton remembered for her gentle spirit, love of family, and deep connection to her community

Wendy Parry (née Mountain) of Tiverton, died peacefully, surrounded by her family, at Huron Shores Hospice, April 23, 2026, at the age of 69, after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

She was born March 7, 1957, in Hamilton, where she was raised. Later, she made her home in Tiverton with her loving husband, Dave. She was a beloved member of her community, known for her kindness, warmth, humour and quiet strength. She was a devoted daughter, wife, mother, grandmother and friend to many.

Wendy spent many years as a member of Knox Presbyterian Church in Tiverton, and was Sunday School superintendent.

In years past, she also enjoyed her time clogging, bowling, sewing, gardening with her dog, Pepper, by her side, playing softball and volleyball, and was a gifted member of the Kincardine Sunset Quilters' Guild. Her beautiful sewing projects were known to win many ribbons at the Tiverton Fall Fair.

She was a talented snare drummer in the Kincardine Scottish Pipe Band and loved her band family.

Wendy was an incredible mother. She was a constant source of love, guidance and strength to her daughters. The values she instilled will carry on through her children and grandchildren.

Over the past 19 years, being a Gramma brought her immense joy. Whether it was offering her grandchildren a cozy lap to cuddle up in or playing cheerleader from the sidelines of their various sports and activities, she soaked up every second of it.

Wendy had a sweet sense of humour, loving to play innocent practical jokes to see her target laugh, and she shared that friendly wit right to the end. She was also an avid thrift shopper and loved the thrill of the hunt.

She found her greatest joy, though, in time spent with her family. Her happy place was at the family trailer on the canal at Fisherman’s Cove, where countless treasured memories (and S'mores) were made.

Deeply missed and forever loved by her devoted husband, Dave Parry of Tiverton, with whom she would have celebrated 50 years of marriage this year; her children, Laurie Moffatt (Devin) of Tiverton, Sandra Parry (Derek Mullen) of Tiverton, Christine Parry (Jay Maerz) of Wingham and Marlene Martini (Joe) of Tara; and her cherished grandchildren, Layla, Cooper, Alex, Connor, Robin, Abby, Tyler, Emma, Lucas, and Owen.

Also survived by her brothers, Jeff Mountain (late Charlene) of Dornoch and Wayne Mountain (late Beverly) of Hanover; her beloved in-laws, Doug Parry of Hamilton, Carol Brown (late David) of Hamilton, Robert Parry of Hamilton, the late Allister Parry (Lori Crisp) of Hamilton, Beverly Pitt (Ernie) of Mount Hope, Chris Parry (Corinne) of Hamilton, Janice Parry of Chalk River, and Catharine Parry of Hamilton. Fondly remembered by her many beloved cousins, nieces and nephews.

Predeceased by her loving parents, Vera and Earl Mountain; and her in-laws, Helen and William Parry.

Wendy will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her love of family, and her deep connection to her community. Her presence will be profoundly missed by all who knew her.

A come-and-go Celebration of Life will be held May 23, 2026, from 2-4 p.m. at the Whitney Crawford Community Centre in Tiverton.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Wendy’s memory may be made to Huron Shores Hospice, whose compassionate care and support meant so much to her and her family, or to the Wingham and District Hospital – Oncology Unit.
