Wendy Sue (Ryushin) Larson

• 

Larson, Wendy Sue (Ryushin) 72. After taking a long path on her final journey, Wendy passed away peacefully and surrounded by light, birdsong, spring frog sounds, woods, rain, and love on May 4 in Duluth, MN. She was a woman of many talents and interests: environmentalist, fierce climate advocate, bird lover, dog lover, forever an editor, Splendid Dragon-Dragon Heart, and wickedly funny humorist. Wendy faced her final days with grace, wit, acceptance, and strength of spirit, carrying our love with her on her next journey. Survived by her life partner and wife of 39+ years, Patricia Rogers; brother Gregg, sister-in-law Mary, and brother Jack Larson; nephews Eric Larson, Clayton Rose, Justin Rose, and niece Cathy Rose; sister-in-law Kathy Rose; great nephew Benjamin Rose, great niece Katelyn Rose; members of her Bemidji sangha, dearly beloved friends of many years, and new friends in the community. In lieu of flowers or other tributes, please send donations to the Solvay Hospice House at solvayhospicehouse.org/. Many thanks to the Solvay care team for their loving kindness. Grateful for all who shared in this beautiful transition over the last few weeks. A celebration of life will take place at a later date.
