Wendell Washington

Thursday afternoon, March 21, 2019, the one we loved and called "Ding Dong" stepped across the threshold that we call death; but, it was only a step into another room, not stepping out the fellowship of life. Wendell was born December 22, 1959 to Mrs. Emily Washington. He attended Dallas Public Schools, C.F. Carr, Sidney Lanier, Thoms A. Edison, and L.G. Pinkston High School, where he graduated. Wendell worked at KFC, as well as Sears.He was also a mechanic to many.

Wendell joined Homeland Street Missionary Baptist Church at an early age, under the leadership of the late Pastor Rev. T.R. McNealy, Sr. He is preceded in death by his father and stepmom, grandparents, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, cousins and many other relatives and friends.
