In Memorium
Wendy Wolfberg, 1955-2021

NVPC member Wendy Wolfberg passed away on the morning of November 14^th. Wendy joined our club in 2014 to advance her love of photography, but she also loved music and theater, and was active in both community theater and musical activities in the Westford and Greater Boston area.

Wendy's beautiful voice and personality will be missed
by all who knew her.

A memorial service will be planned at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Wendy’s memory may be made to
Keystone Human Services.
