I come bearing sad news.
Both 336Robbin and I had been trying to locate Wendy for a while now.
Apparently she passed away a several years ago.
Her demise was not an easy one.
According to KoolKat9Lives she had met a biker and pool player at one point and ended up hooking up with him.
Apparently the relationship became violent and he beat her almost to death.
She ended up in the hospital and went into organ failure and passed.
Her health was not good due to both her and KK9 having been struck with both lymes disease and black mold a couple year prior. Both were recovering when they went their separate ways.
I would guess the violence done to her was simply to much for her body to handle in her weakened state. .
I have no information on whether or not anyone was charged or prosecuted for the crimes committed.

Before anyone here who remembers begins to speculate. I am assuming this individual was not the AZB member she had previously escaped from. KK9 did not know the name of the individual involved. The only information he had was through Wendy's son.

RIP Wendy.
 
God bless you, Pink Lady

Oh no!
I remember when they finally figured out it was Lyme disease that was the cause of his/their poor health.

I got to know Wendy Pinklady and Matt KK9L through AZB and shared a good number of phone calls with them. I am a long time sufferer of a very bad case of chronic neuro Lyme disease myself and l tried to be helpful to the both of them as best I could.

Reading this terrible news is shocking but not surprising to me given the huge swings in both of their lives.

I will always focus on the very fun aspects of knowing Wendy & Matt.

RIP Wendy, you were a lovely person who got dealt some very tough hands. And Matt, you really were a "Kool Kat" and I hope you are doing much better than when we last spoke.

best,
brian kc

Here is the post I made in NPR.

Thanks for posting this Sev,

I am heartbroken. Wendy was one of those people that when you met her,
you instantly liked her, and she was so genuine you were going to be friends immediately and we met, and then we were.

Wendy and I became friends before a whole lot of things went South in her life.
She took me to the High Point Furniture Show once. You had to have passes mailed to you
in order to get in. She had them. It was awesome in every way. Some of the furniture there and
some of the high fashion people that came to it. When She was on her game, this was Wendy's World.

She bought and sold furniture by the container load at one point an Independent buyer. A business taught
to her by her Mother, who was a designer from what I remember. She came from classy people who worked in
a high fashion world. She looked at everything through that lens.

She and I met at an AzBilliards get together that she organized at Breakers in Greensboro in her old neighborhood near Guilford College.

It was me her man at the time KK9 and Stu who came down from New York. I think that John Herky (Guilford Mills old money) and his friend Wayne who were in real estate business together were there also.

It was a good time for all at what was Breakers in Greensboro that has since moved down the street. My road partner Anthony Arney
was still alive, but he wasn't there.

I loved the vibe of that part of Greensboro, there was something old school about it and I went there on
Fridays with 2 other friends from time to time and I have stories from it.

I never met her son Gray. He was the highlight of her life. She talked about him a lot.

Her biggest regret was losing her health so that she couldn't do more for Gray.

Her health went down as Moses Cone Hospital in Greensboro failed to believe she had contracted Lyme Disease
because it was Greensboro, NC when there are cases that pop up there every year. It started with KK9 and both of them
got deathly ill and both of them suffered terrible losses from it.

I bought things from her she was willing to unload, and Wilson and I organized something here to help her out one time.

Everyone loved her and I prefer to remember her laugh and generosity and not the stuff that happened later.

She and KK9 went to the Mosconi every year and were friends with Mark Griffin who owned CSI and Stu.

She went through extreme sickness and a living hell from it. All I could do was be a friend and I hauled her stuff when
I could.

Sometimes we don't have a choice on how we come to our end and I'm not going to focus on it.

As a friend who saw what she went through, she had courage that many do not, but she always maintained her integrity.

She was one the greatest fans of Pool that I've ever met, and my friends list is short one very nice person that I loved as a good friend.

My condolences to her family and friends and her friends on AzBilliards.com

She is missed and always will be. She was a Pink Gem and one of a kind. Wendy Weisbecker, Pink Lady on AzBilliards.com .

May she rest in peace.

This is so very sad to hear.

I knew Wendy from AZ and we'd occassionally talk on the phone. She was a lovely lady. I have two photos from 2013. In the first she is displaying Michaela Tabb's white gloves from refereeing the MC that year. Somehow she convinced Michaela that her famous white gloves would look great on her chest. The other is of her and KoolKat at the same event. All I recall is that after partying with her and the two MC teams in the hotel bar in Vegas I made it back to my hotel room and woke up in bed in the middle of the night with all the lights on and my iPad on my stomach.

RIP, Wendy.

What a beautiful tribute to your friend.
 
I got to know Wendy during two trips I made to Greensboro, North Carolina. Sad to hear of her passing. Gone but not forgotten.
