Edith Tendick

Edith Tendick (Edie Wagner), a devoted Christian, beloved wife and mother, passed away peacefully in the comfort of her home on May 11, at the age of 61, after a courageous battle with ALS. 

Born on Nov. 26, 1961, in Lafayette, Edie was raised in Winamac, by her late parents, Henry and Virginia (Steiner) Wagner.

Edie is survived by her loving husband of 33 years, Dean Tendick, and their cherished children, Jennifer Tendick, Travis Tendick, and her brother Herb Wagner. 

She was a steadfast and nurturing mother. Edie’s unwavering faith guided her throughout her life, providing support and strength to her family. She was a constant source of comfort and her memory will be cherished, and missed by all who knew her.

After her diagnosis, Edie suffered for 18 months from the debilitating illness of ALS, but faced the adversity with grace and determination, never wavering in her faith or love for her family. Her resilience and unwavering spirit inspired those around her and her legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of her family and friends.

Edie’s family is very grateful for the outpouring of love, support, and help they have received during this difficult time. They would like to express their heartfelt appreciation to everyone who has shared their condolences and kept them in their thoughts and prayers.
