In Loving Memory of Wendi Allen 💕 The Bay Bluffs family is mourning the loss of Wendi Allen, who greeted those who walked through our doors for more than 20 years with warmth, kindness and often a perfectly timed laugh. Wendi was more than our front desk receptionist—she was a constant, compassionate presence for staff, residents, families and visitors alike. Her wit and caring nature left an indelible mark on our community.
We are deeply grateful to Wendi’s family for designating Bay Bluffs as the recipient of memorial contributions, a reflection of the love she gave and received here every day. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
