Obituary of Wendy L. Szabo- Jordan

Mrs. Wendy L. Szabo- Jordan, 48, of Amsterdam died suddenly on Saturday, January 16, 2021. Born on April 3, 1972 she was the daughter of Christopher Szabo and the late Norma Jean Young Szabo.  

A fierce woman, Wendy always spoke her mind and lived life to the fullest. She was a lifelong area resident and graduated from Canajoharie High School.  She was employed as a counselor for Mohawk Opportunities in Schenectady, NY and truly enjoyed her job.  

Wendy’s true passion was being a skilled make-up artist and coach on the world’s pageant stages. She coached countless young individuals throughout her lifetime and shared her passion with her family and friends. Wendy was always willing to lend a helping hand, give a word of advice or simply be there to help others.  

A true matriarch to the Jordan family, she loved her family deeply and valiantly.  Her greatest joy was being a nana and helping to raise her grandchildren.  Wendy was always up for a good time and enjoyed the occasional trip to Disney.  She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

She is survived by her husband and best friend, David A. Jordan, whom she married on June 29, 1991; her daughter, Georgie Smith and her husband Paul; her beloved grandchildren, Shiloh and Easton Smith; her father, Christopher Szabo and his wife Mary; two aunts, Donna Santangelo and her husband Phil and Stacia Farrell; four uncles, Joel Szabo, Daniel Szabo, Eric Szabo and Gary Moltrip; nieces, nephews and extended members of the Jordan and Szabo families; and the pageant community.
