Wendy Lea Beaupre

It is with great sadness that Pam and Hal Beaupre announce the passing of their daughter at age 55 after a courageous battle with cancer. Wendy was born and raised in Kankakee. She attended St. Theresa’s Grade School, graduated from Bishop McNamara High School, and attended Kankakee Community College. Wendy’s love of animals moved her out west to Colorado and eventually to Austin, Texas where she worked in animal rescue. She is survived by her parents, Pam and Hal Beaupre of Kankakee; nieces, Brittany Beaupre, Brianna (Sam) Gardner, and Sierra Beaupre; great nephews, Oliver and Nolan; great niece, Naomi all of the Arden, North Carolina area; many aunts, uncles, and cousins from the Beaupre and Liebendorfer side who reside through out the United States. Wendy was preceded in death by her brother, Shawn Beaupre. The family wants to extend a special thank you to Wendy’s best friend, Meagan Nehls, who came and provided care during her battles with cancer. We can’t thank her enough. A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, November 19, 2022 from 2:00 PM-4:00 PM at Jensen Funeral Home of Kankakee.
