FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (WRAL) – Wednesday “Wendy” Johnson was 51 years old when she died at Cape Fear Valley Hospital in June.

Family members said her death was heat-related and she began to feel weary on a hot day while working her job with the U.S. Postal Service. Johnson, who lived in Sanford, worked for the service for more than 20 years.

Weeks later, her children are still grieving and absorbing the shock from their sudden loss on June 6.

“When I would think of my mom, I would think of my own community because I didn’t need nobody else but her,” said daughter Sa’ni Johnson.
