Wendy Medlin Kaufman, 45, of San Angelo, passed away after a courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by loved ones in Loop, Texas on Friday, July 10, 2015. She was born to Charles and Betty McFarland Medlin on Wednesday, April 29, 1970 in Seagraves. Wendy married Phil Kaufman, on September 27, 1995 in Key West, Florida. She was a member of Glen Meadows Baptist Church. Wendy had a boundless love for children. This intense love made her a talented and focused neonatal intensive care nurse. To say that she loved her job does not do her dedication to her patients and their families justice. Wendy was family oriented in the deepest depths of her being. After many years of trying, she and Phil were blessed with children of their own. She decided to stay at home and focus on their children, even homeschooling them when the time arrived. Of all the things that Wendy loved in her life, nothing compared to the time she spent with Kyle and Macy. She fought every day to stay alive and be with them. She cherished her family and leaned on her faith to keep her family strong. Wendy was known as a giver. Even in the midst of her own battle with cancer, she became an advocate for others through the Breast Cancer Society. Her love of life and giving nature will be missed greatly by all who knew her, were inspired by her, and love her.
Survivors include her husband, Phil Kaufman; children, Kyle Kaufman and Macy Kaufman; parents, Charles and Betty Medlin; brothers, Brent Medlin and wife, Suzanne, and Bobby Medlin and wife, Shelby; numerous nieces, nephews and a host of other relatives and friends.
