After a long and hard-fought battle with Parkinson’s disease, Marilyn “Wendy” (nee Wendel and formerly Macri) Nagy, age 83, passed away peacefully with her loving family by her side on Saturday, November 28th.

Wendy was born in Minerva, Ohio and attended University of Mount Union in Alliance, Ohio. She was a member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority and was very active in politics, competitive tennis and the Canton Women's Auxiliary. Throughout her life she lived in Canton, Ohio, Norwalk, Connecticut and Naples, Florida, where she wintered the last twenty years, but she called Barrington, IL her home for over forty years. Wendy had a true passion for fashion and worked at Satin Filly, a women’s clothing boutique in Barrington, IL for more than twenty years. Faith was also an important element of Wendy’s life and she was a longtime, active member of St. Michael’s Episcopal Church in Barrington, IL. Wendy’s smile lit up every room she entered, enhanced by her class, style and kind heart. We want her to be remembered for her ability to laugh until she cried, her eagerness to give more than she ever received and her unending devotion to family.

Wendy is survived by her loving husband, William Nagy; her former spouse Rocco Macri; her two daughters Noell (Tony) Poidomani and Dayna (Scott) Imhoff; and her five grandchildren: Macray, Makenna, and Maesyn Poidomani, and Drake and Dawson Imhoff all of Barrington, IL; nephew Frank (and Caron) Rotundo of Pompano Beach, FL; and niece Carol Rotundo of North Canton, Ohio. She will also be greatly missed by her dear friends Nancy Sappington of San Diego, CA and Karen Zakos of North Barrington, IL.

Wendy was preceded in death by her parents Nora and Elmer Wendel; her brother, Robert Wendel; her loving daughter, Beth Ann Macri; and her beloved cat, Bowie.
