Wendel drew her last breath on Saturday, July 21, 2018, but the details surrounding her death are yet to be revealed since her daughter, J.C, whose real name is Jennifer, preferred not to dwell on it.

J.C. took to her Instagram account on Saturday to let her fans and followers know that her loving mother had died, which prompted many people to send their condolences.

J.C., who is also an actress, having starred in The X Files, Quantum Leap and Nash Bridges, described the woman who brought her into the world as a 'great mom.'
