In Wan (Wendy) worked as a seamstress for over 30 years at KL Manufacturing in Spokane and also worked with her husband in the restaurant business for several years.

She was an avid fan of Hong Kong cinema and television dramas and had a love for shared gardening with her husband.

In Wan (Wendy) was a high energy, hard-working woman who always considered her family her greatest joy and achievement.

She was especially proud of her three grown children whom she lovingly raised, along with a special adoration for their family dog, Mocha.
