Adolph Wendling, who passed away on December 6, 2024, at the age of 85 in Morris, Illinois, was a man whose life was filled with love, family, and service. Born in Germany on April 17, 1939, Adolph's journey was marked by his whole-hearted embrace of these values.

Survived by his devoted wife, Sharon Wendling, Adolph's legacy lives on through his children, Steven (Laura) Wendling and Linda (Ray) Migas, and his beloved grandchildren - Ryan (Hayley), Kevin (Ellen), Samantha, Jennifer, RJ, David, and Paul, who brought him immeasurable joy. His recent great-grandchild, Owen, added to his pride and happiness.

Adolph's career as a mechanical supervisor was a testament to his dedication and work ethic, earning him the respect of his colleagues for his expertise and commitment to excellence.

Beyond work, Adolph had a wide range of interests. He enjoyed watching basketball games in the evenings and sharing laughter and stories with friends. Adolph's family held a special place in his heart, and every moment spent with them was cherished deeply.

An active member of his church, Adolph's faith shaped his actions, manifesting in acts of kindness and service to others. His days were enriched by his hands-on approach to fixing or improving things around the house.

To honor Adolph's memory, the family is accepting memorials to Friends of Christ Lutheran Church in Morris or a charity of choice.

A visitation for Adolph is scheduled for Tuesday, December 10, 2024, from 10:00 am to 11:00 am at Friends in Christ Lutheran Church in Morris, followed by a Celebration of Life at 11:00 am. A private family burial will take place later.
