Wendy Joyce Ealey

Mrs. Wendy Joyce (Tomlin) Ealey, 51, of Villa Rica, peacefully passed away on Wednesday, May 27, 2026. Born in Riverdale on September 10, 1974, Wendy’s life was a beautiful tapestry woven with love, faith, and dedication.

For over nine years, Wendy devoted herself as a Property Manager with Visor Residential LLC, where she was cherished like family by colleagues and residents alike. Her Christian faith guided her through life, and she attended Church at Southern Hills Church at City Station in Carrollton. Wendy treasured family gatherings, especially during holidays, when her home was filled with warmth and laughter, and she lovingly cooked meals for everyone. Her thoughtful spirit shone through as she celebrated each family member’s birthday, making every moment special. Wendy also found happiness in simple pleasures—shopping, gardening, and crocheting, activities through which she expressed her vibrant and loving nature. Family was the heart of Wendy’s world, and she was a wonderful “Mimi” to her grandchildren. Wendy’s radiant spirit and kind heart touched all who knew her. Though her presence will be profoundly missed, the legacy of her love, compassion, and joyful spirit will forever remain in the hearts of her family and friends.

Wendy is survived by her beloved husband, Paul Ealey of Villa Rica; her sons and daughters-in-law, Brady and Kayla Vaughn of Carrollton, Hunter Vaughn of Carrollton, Ethan Vaughn of Villa Rica, Daniel and Madison Ealey of Ranburne, Zack Ealey of Oklahoma City, and Peyton Ealey of Carrollton; her mother, Brenda Carper of Woodbury; her father and step-mother, Billy and Sandra Tomlin of McDonough; her brothers and sister-in-law, Jason Tomlin of Woodbury and Randy and Jamie Carper of Austin, Texas; her sister, Salina Tomlin of Cocoa Beach, Florida. Wendy is also survived by her grandchildren, Waylon Vaughn, Stetson Vaughn, Cayden Ealey, Parker Ealey, Danny Ealey, and a number of other relatives and many friends.
