Wendy Lee Druga Shiflet, 67, of Charleroi, previously of Southview, Pa., passed away in her home, surrounded by her immediate family on April 4, 2020, after her battle with cancer. She was born Aug. 1, 1952, to Andrew and Dorothy Druga. She married her lifelong love on Sept. 20, 1975, and welcomed her two children in the early 1980s. From the moment we enter this world until the moment we leave it, our time is filled with the journey called life. A journey that Wendy never took for granted and made sure she filled with laughter, love, friendship and worship. Wendy was a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother to her family and steadfast child of the Lord. She was always more than happy to share photos and stories of her children and grandchild with friends. She was happiest when she was surrounded by her friends and family, including her church family. For many years, Wendy worked as a teacher’s aide with the intermediate unit helping youths navigate the challenges of primary school. Wendy will be remembered for her kindness, her willingness to help her friends and family, her dedication to her church family, her pleasant and fun demeanor and her undying commitment to motherhood and the Lord. Wendy was always happy to open her house and her kitchen to her friends and her children’s friends. She leaves many behind with happy memories of time spent in her presence.
