Wendy Halowski

In Memoriam

We are sad to share that Wendy Halowski passed on February 9, 2025.

Wendy began her academic journey in Winnipeg, where she was born and raised. She earned her dental hygiene degree from the University of Manitoba and later pursued a master’s degree in science and education at the University of Kentucky. There she met her husband, Mark Hodge, with whom she built a rich and meaningful life in Vancouver while raising four amazing children.

Wendy contributed to the UBC Faculty of Dentistry as a dental hygiene educator, remembered by colleagues and students alike for her enormous presence through her extraordinary teaching skills accompanied with a beautiful smile and contagious laughter. After her time at UBC, she transitioned into a career in clinical counselling, a role she embraced for over 25 years.

A celebration of Wendy’s life was held on March 13, 2025. The Faculty extends its condolences to Wendy’s family, friends and colleagues.
