Bernie, I am so sorry for your loss. As you say, her quizzes were gems. It's wonderful that she wrote a few recently, to leave us with a bit of enjoyment in the midst of the sorrow of losing her. {{{hugs}}} to you, your team mates, and to her family. Reply #1. Feb 07 19, 3:52 PM |

I've played a number of Wenray's quizzes and always found them fun and informative. Deepest sympathies to her many friends, she'll be sorely missed. Reply #2. Feb 07 19, 4:14 PM |

It is sad to lose a team member in this way, and in Wenray's case a long term member of Fun Trivia...please accept my condolences to yourself and the whole team. Reply #5. Feb 07 19, 9:57 PM |

I was very sorry to hear this news. I've been working with Wendy since early in 2011 when she started to write quizzes - a lot of her quizzes were in my categories. It was so nice, in the last month, to see that she'd started to write again. She was a valuable part of our community, and will be missed. The editors will continue to maintain her quizzes and keep them online. Reply #6. Feb 07 19, 11:15 PM |

Wen was just lovely. I was so sad to hear of her passing. I'll miss talking to her. Her quizzes were excellent. Wen was the primary carer for her much loved husband who was suffering from a long term illness for years. Though tiring at times, it was a task carried out with absolute love and devotion. To me, she epitomised the marriage vow. She and Bernie have known each other for quite some time. I know he's very upset at her loss and the manner of her passing, but more than anything else, that he has lost a friend. To me, they epitomised true friendship. So, for Wen and Bernie: “The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities; but to know someone who thinks & feels with us, and who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.” Reply #9.

So very sorry for your loss, Bernie. Too many FT members have left this world way too soon in the past few months. Even if I never spoke to them, their passing affected me in some way. I can only imagine how devastated their close friends must feel. Reply #11. Feb 08 19, 6:25 PM |

Thank you for all of your kind messages, Wendy had a lot of friends on Fun Trivia and loved receiving letters from players of her quizzes. With all of her medical problems she had to give up quiz writing three years ago but with some cajoling and her determination she left us with two new quizzes in January. She will still be with us for years to come through her quizzes being played by old and new members. Wendy's funeral will be at the Guardian Funeral Home at First Avenue & Sunnyholt Road, Blacktown, Australia, on 15 February at 10.00am. Reply #12. Feb 10 19, 1:08 AM |

Losing friends and loved once to death is so hard. I didn't have the please of knowing her but I will be sure to play one or two of her quizzes today to honor her. Sending sympathy and virtual hugs. Reply #15. Feb 13 19, 6:07 AM |

So sorry to hear from you of Wen's passing Bernie, I know what good friends you were and how you'll miss your daily skypes. It's only a few weeks ago she sent me a lovely note of how things were going for her. RIP Wen Kev Reply #16. Feb 14 19, 2:10 PM |

I had the privilege of getting to know Wen through Bernie's team The Misplaced. We exchanged many notes and she was always so candid and genuine. Her quizzes were just the same: unpretentious fun. We had some great laughs on the team board, and I looked forward to what she was going to post so I could try and keep the jokes going. Her health was faltering and I really missed her in the team. We still sent personal messages now and again but it was never the same really. I know Bernie is really going to miss her as they were so close, and I will too. She was proper top drawer. Reply #17.

I am bringing this post back up because it is one year since my friend and team mate Wendy Pymont (wenray) passed away. I just wanted to inform anyone that knew her or played her quizzes who didn't know that she had died, that she passed away in February 2019. Reply #19. Feb 06 20, 4:55 AM |

You're not the only one to remember her, Bernie. Whenever I see her name, I stop and think of her for a moment or two. Reply #20. Feb 06 20, 7:43 AM |
