Wendy Marie Riall passed away peacefully on May 20, 2025, in Huntsville, Alabama, at the age of 39. Born on April 27, 1986, in Kingsville, Texas, Wendy brought light and laughter into the lives of everyone who knew her.
Wendy spent her life in Huntsville, where she lived with her devoted mother, Bibiana Riall, and her caring stepfather, Michael Herrington. Her biological father, Brian D. Riall, passed. Though Wendy faced the challenges of disability, she met each day with a joyful spirit and a loving heart.
She had a deep love for music—especially ABBA and Madonna—and found joy in the simple pleasure of ripping up paper, something that never failed to bring a smile to her face and to those around her. Her unique quirks and vibrant personality made her a beloved sister, daughter, and aunt.
Besides her mother and stepfather, Wendy is survived by her five siblings, Christina Ratusny, Chriselda Rivas, Jennifer Reger, Roxanne Wade, and Gary Riall. She was a cherished aunt to 21 nieces and nephews, each of whom held a special place in her heart, Richard, Maxine, Christophe, Joshua, Sebastian, Jicah, Joemar, Jimell, Chris Jiji, Joseph, Gilbert, Jace, Tahj, Tremayne, Angel, Phoenix, Gilbert, Carlos, Jazmyn, Damian, and Bowie.
A viewing followed by cremation will be held in her honor, allowing loved ones to gather, remember, and celebrate Wendy’s life.
