Ms. Wendy E. Hunley Logan

The Life and Legacy of Wendy Elaine H. Logan: Wendy was born on August 12, 1959 in Detroit, Michigan to the late Robert and Peggy Lee. She was raised in the Christian faith and accepted Christ into her heart at an early age as a member of St. John’s Presbyterian Church. A product of the Detroit Public Schools system, Wendy received her high school diploma in 1977 from Henry Ford High School. She, then, pursued higher education at Highland Park Community College and finished her studies at Wayne State University. There she obtained an Associates of Arts Degree in 1980. In August of 1980 she married her high school sweetheart Tony J. Logan and was afforded three “blessings”: Holly Noel (Pumpkin), Tony James II (Sweet Boy) and Autumn Joy (The Butter). In 1985, Wendy worked for Metropolitan Health and Alliance Plan as an administrative assistant. However, she always felt that she needed more adventure! And on August 28, 1989, she ventured on a new path were she joined the Detroit Police Department. While in the Police Academy, she was given Badge #4333 and nicknamed “SASSY” for refusing to sacrifice Fashion for the Force and always doing things the “Wendy Way.” With much hard work and dedication to what she called her “Good Government Job,” she was promoted to the rank of Investigator (Badge # 112) on May 21, 1999. By her work colleagues, she was loved and cherished with much adoration while teaching everyone about the “Wendy Way!” She developed what she liked to call her “Queendom,” in which she mapped out everyone’s role in her royal court, including colleagues, superiors and her partner in crime Robert Lee. The most important dictation of her reign, “To bring laughter and smiles to all who oppose her!” Co-workers and prisoners, alike, would often request her presence during interrogations and were famed for saying “She kept it real” as she passed peppermints before playing “good cop, bad cop” with her right hand, Robert Lee. In May 2001, Wendy was re-married to Emanuel Hunley until 2016. When not at work or spending time with her children, Wendy enjoyed gardening, crafts, ministering to children and lunch dates with her niece, Shelly. On August 28, 2014, Wendy officially retired from the Detroit Police Department with several commendations. Amongst them were Officer of the Month, the Chief’s Merit Award for outstanding service and several Life Saving Citations culminating the end to an illustrious career dedicated to serving our communities. Through these avenues, and many more, Wendy is remembered as a loving mother, caring sister, sweet grandmother, awesome aunt, creative teacher, hardworking employee and a trustworthy friend. The sun rose on August 12, 1959 and set on October 9, 2017.
