Wendy Thomas De Silva, 52, of Cabot, Arkansas, passed away on May 12, 2026.

Wendy was a devoted mother, loving grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend to many. She is survived by her children, Sydney De Silva, Rhea De Silva, and Delia Gebhardt (De Silva); her beloved grandchildren, Evelyn Gebhardt, Elijah Popick, Elliott Gebhardt, and Liam Gaspar; her mother, Boasri Saboa; and her brother, Rob Waldron. She was preceded in death by her father, William Ladd Waldron.

Wendy had a deep love for working with infants and found great joy and purpose in caring for children through her work. She was known for her warm heart, strong mind, and willingness to help anyone she could. She loved to talk and connect with people, and her sense of humor brought laughter and comfort to those around her. Above all, she treasured her family and was a wonderful grandmother who adored spending time with her grandchildren.

Our mother was a private woman who often kept to herself and was never one for many words. However, when she opened up, she loved to talk, and it was always easy to bring a smile or laughter to her face. A mother’s love is truly unmatched, and hers is a love we will carry with us and cherish forever. We will always remember her for the many dragon trinkets she loved to collect, her unwavering love of heavy metal music, and her enormous red Tundra truck that she cared for as if it were one of her own. These are only a few of the countless memories and qualities that made her so special to us. She is now reunited with her beloved dog, Flynn, whom she loved deeply. As her three daughters and four grandchildren, we will continue to honor her life, treasure her memory, and love her always for everything she was to our family.

Wendy’s strength, kindness, and love will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew her.

A memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on May 23, 2026, at A Natural Funeral Service in Jacksonville, Arkansas.
