RIP Pinklady.

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.

Truly sad to hear this. One of the first people that befriended me when I joined here. My condolences to her son Grey.

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.

A fine post, dedicated to a fine person. Though I never met her in person, the interactions here through AZB were always genuine.
My deepest sympathy to her family and close friends.
🙏

Farewell Pink Lady,...RIP.
I only knew of her here, we spoke by phone once. I found out she grew up a few towns over from my hometown, so we tried to envision some time when we didn't know each other, we had likely crossed paths. That came at a rec lounge near a popular pizza place in her hometown. We both had a laugh at the "small world" moment.
I recall her being the fiesty type. She said what she thought and was expressive with her speech, both memorable and funny.
Condolences to her family.
 
Really had an immediate bummer hit when reading what happened here. I never met her but were friends on FB and here on AZ. I met Matt once years ago and he and a friend Rick Sonner came by my house here in Martinsville to unwind after the funeral of Ricks Sister. I had spoken with Pink Lady a few times on the phone but never had gotten the chance to meet up. Numerous friends including John Herky which was one of my close friends from the Greensboro area and Rick Sonner and a few more where shared between Matt and Wendy. So sorry to have good folks go to soon.
RIP Pink Lady
 
Shocking.
absolutely terrible.
May she rest in gentle peace with the angels. Forever.
