On Tuesday, February 23, 2021, Frederick J. Wendehack, husband, father and grandfather, of Locust Grove, Virginia, passed away at the age of 86.

Fred was an avid gardener with a green thumb for roses and azaleas. He loved his dogs and his horse. He especially enjoyed living on the lake where he boated, fished, and spent many happy days working on home improvement projects.

He is survived by his brother Paul Wendehack (wife Robin), sister Debbie Davis, his daughters, Lyn Kuzminsky (husband Jerry) and Carol Mahoney (husband Kevin), grandchildren Jen, Mike, and Joe Kuzminsky and Julia Mahoney, step-daughter Robyn Boothe, and step grandchildren Kaleb and Jarid Soldz.
