She was born in Chandlersville, Ohio on July 18, 1943, to Frank and Inez (Ferguson) Drushal. She was raised in Chandlersville, Ohio and met Billy Wedincamp in Washington D.C in 1962 while working for the FBI as J. Edgar Hoover’s secretary. They were married on January 18, 1963.

Her profession, after serving in the FBI, was as a bookkeeper/ Tax consultant, which she did until she started team-driving trucks with Billy for several years. After she quit driving trucks, she managed their trucking company until their retirement in 2014.

The family lived in Hampton, GA, Chattanooga, TN and then moved back and settled in Midway, GA where Billy was from. She was an avid reader, with a collection of several hundred books. She loved cross word puzzles, word finds and sudoku.

She also loved gardening and raising her own food and feeding all of the birds.

She was very religious and was a devoted member of Fleming Baptist Church for over 45 years.

She is survived by her children Eric (Dana), Adam (Amy), and bonus children Lynne (Randy) Buck, Dean (Patricia), and several grandchildren, great grandchildren, her Brother Bob (Irene) Drushal and sister-in-law Shirley Drushal.
