In Loving Memory of Wendy Hughson
Wendy Hughson passed away peacefully at Albert House Hospice Center on July 27, 2026, at the age of 66.
There are some people who leave an impression wherever they go, and Wendy was one of them. She was a witty woman who could make you laugh, tell you exactly what she thought, and somehow make you feel stronger just by being around her.
She faced life with curiosity, grit, and a sense of humour that never seemed to disappear, no matter what she was up against. She had a quick wit, a sharp tongue when it was deserved, and a heart big enough to rescue hundreds of cats.
One of the greatest examples of her strength was her journey through a double lung transplant. It was a roller-coaster filled with challenges that would have broken many people, but not her. She met every setback with courage, resilience, and, somehow, a witty joke that could make even the hardest days a little lighter. She taught us that strength isn’t about never struggling—it’s about choosing to keep fighting, one day at a time.
She leaves behind to carry on her memory her life partner, Brock Terris; her stepdaughter, Brooke Hamilton (Bradon) and her granddaughter, Freyja (to whom she was Mima).
Also left to cherish Wendy’s memory are her mother, Helen Hughson; her brother and sisters, Valerie (and the late Frank), Debby McAllister (Peter), Stephen Hughson (Joanne) and Cindy Hughson (John). She is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews and extended family members.
Wendy was predeceased by her cherished father, Leonard Hughson.
Although our hearts are heavy with grief, they are also full of gratitude. We were lucky to love her, to go fishing with her and share a laugh and a lobster dinner with her.
As per her wishes, there will be no visits at the funeral home or funeral services.
The family would like to thank her dedicated and compassionate Toronto lung transplant team and the caring team at the Moncton Hospice Center.
In memory of Wendy Hughson, a donation to New Brunswick Lung Association would be greatly appreciated.
Wendy is and will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.

I’m so very sorry to hear this. Wendy and I were friends for a very long time and I always loved seeing her. She loved a good time ( and there were many), and she had no trouble letting you know where you stood or what her opinion was on a subject, which I loved.about her.She will be sorely missed
My deepest condolences to all of her family .
Wendy was a great friend and fellow “Lung Buddy”. So thankful for the memories we have of our times together. Sending our sincere condolences to all who knew and loved her. In our hearts, Kent & Heather
My sincere condolences to Wendy’s family. My first job was at Lawtons Drug store in Sussex and Wendy was my boss, we worked together for 6 years. Over that time she became a mentor and friend. Lots of laughs and good times!
Billy and I have known Wendy since the late 70’s. Laughter abound when Wendy was around. Fiercely vocal, always kind and a true friend, that was Wendy. We were so sorry to hear that she passed, she went through so much before and after surgery. God bless her and her family and friends.
My deepest sympathy to Brock, Brooke and Bradon and the Hughson Family. Wendy will always be with you, in your memories and in your hearts.
Lots of Love Shelley, Jon and Jeremey.
My thoughts are with you and the family along with my sincere condolences.
Brock, I am so sorry to hear this.

Brock we are so sad to hear of Wendy’s passing . You have our deepest condolences ❤️
It breaks my heart to hear of Wendy’s passing. Life gets busy and though we did not see or talk much after she moved to Salisbury I still considertor her my best friend. We were inseparable all through our high school years. Love you Wendy.
To Brock and family
I was saddened to hear of Wendy’s passing.
As I looked back through the many messages we shared over the years, I realized something that speaks clearly to the kind of person she was. Time and again, despite everything she was facing with her own health, she often reached out to ask how I was doing, checking in on my family, and offering kindness and encouragement through some of the most difficult times in my life.
She had such a caring and compassionate heart. Even after everything she endured—from her lung transplant to the challenges that followed—she never seemed to lose her ability to think of others first. That is something I will always remember.
Her strength, resilience, and genuine kindness touched more people than she probably ever realized. I feel grateful to have known her and to have called her my friend.
My heartfelt condolences to all who loved her. May you find comfort in the memories you shared and in knowing how deeply she was admired and appreciated.
Rest peacefully, my friend. You will be missed and remembered with love.
Kellie, Tyler & Aiden
Brock, so sorry to hear of Wendy’s passing. We only knew Wendy for a short time and she was a warrior through her transplant journey . Deepest Sympathy Brock and family. Cindy and John Court.
I was lucky enough to have shared a hospital room in Toronto with Wendy when I had my pancreas transplant last year, and what a wonderful roommate to have. In the short week I was hospitalized I learned so much about her, and how beautiful of soul she had. I know there are no words I can say to ease your pain, but please know I am sharing a piece of your sadness. Sending my deepest sympathies, and I hope you are able to find peace and comfort during this difficult time.
So sorry for your loss Brock you were always by her side my deepest sympathy may she rest in peace 🙏

I was so saddened to hear of Wendy’s passing. We were friends at work on “The Far Side,” but we became even better friends outside of work. I will always treasure the memories, laughter, and good times we shared over the years.
Wendy was a wonderful person, and I feel so fortunate to have known her. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. My thoughts are with her family and everyone who loved her.
Rest in peace, Wendy. You will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️
Wendy was always so courageous and we will miss her deeply. Sorry for your loss Brock and Brook. May she rest in peace.
Cindy my heart breaks for you! My deepest condolences to you and your family.
Devasted to hear the news of Wendy’s passing. I had the privilege of meeting her in Toronto -she shared a room with my daughter. It was amazing to hear her stories of growing up, her mom getting fresh fish for supper while they were at school. She spoke of her father as well and her experience in being in Toronto. We also learned of her care for animals. We spoke about our love of reading and books that we enjoyed. Though I had a short experience with Wendy her impact will be lasting. Thinking of the family at this difficult time.
Dear Mrs Hughson and family,
The entire Dickie family was saddened to learn today of Wendy’s recent passing. We extend our deepest sympathy to your family and Wendy’s partner and family.
Wendy was a cherished neighbour to all of us. We remember her as a spirited, stylish and witty person who always had a kind word for everyone (…but never suffered fools!). She was a lively presence in the neighbourhood throughout our childhood.
We send you love and strength during this difficult time. May happy memories of Wendy bring you comfort.
Holding you in our hearts,
Janice and Dickie Family
