Wendy Starr Hume

After her courageous battle with cancer, Wendy Whitmore Hume, age 59, of Canton, MS went to be with the Lord on May 5, 2021 and was preceded in death by her father, Wilbur Whitmore. Visitation is 5-7 pm Friday, May 7, 2021 at Grace Crossing Church in Canton with services following at 7 pm.

She is survived by her husband, David Hume; her mother Phyllis Dickinson Whitmore ; her brother Mark (Dorothy) Whitmore ; sister Cheryl (Phil) Whitmore-Conrad ; mother-in-law Dean (Robert) Alexander; sister-in-laws Janice (Stuart) Stephens) and Cheryl (Alan) Sticher ; brother-in-law Cy Hume ; daughters Dawn (Jake) Blackwell and Kim (Jason) Jones; and grandchildren Collin, Zach, Lily and Wyatt.

Wendy was a strong Christian woman who accepted Jesus Christ as her savior and served the Lord whole-heartedly. She worshipped at Grace Crossing where she was very active. She enjoyed singing in the choir and led Sunday School classes. She also served on a mission trip to Haiti.

In her free time, Wendy enjoyed baking for others and knitting.  She also traveled many places throughout her life including Hawaii, Australia, and Jamaica. Wendy was spirited in her pursuit of adventure – even jumping out of an airplane once.

Wendy had a challenging battle with cancer, but persevered through the pain with uplifting spirits and positivity for others. She always put others first and pushed through the unknown. She is now finally able to rest at peace and shall suffer no more.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Grace Crossing Baptist Church’s Next Steps Building fund in her name.
