Mary “Jean” Wenig, Sure Sweet Pugs
Mary “Jean” Wenig went home to be with her Maker on October
28th, 2007. Jean was born on November 28, 1924, in Salem,
Oregon. She served in the Women's Air Corps (WAC) from
December 8, 1944 to October 18, 1946. She graduated from
Willamette University on June 12, 1948. On September 11, 1948,
Jean married Royal (Roy) A. Wenig.
Known to her family, friends, and Roy as Jean, the young
newlyweds made their home in Salem. In June of 1960, they
moved to Emmett Idaho. Jean was a member of the American
Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary. She worked tirelessly
for both organizations for 49 years. She was also the first woman
commander of the American Legion Post 49 in Emmett.
Jean and Roy worked hard together to create Sure Sweet Pugs.
Jean was an avid breeder of Pugs and a dog show exhibitor. She
bred many champions over the years and their most recent,
completed his championship the day she passed away. Jean was
a mentor to many new Pug enthusiasts. She was a member of
and volunteer for the dog clubs to which she belonged, and a
founding member of the Puget Sound Pug Dog Club. She had a
passion for rescue, and was a foster home to many a wayward
Pug. She and Roy were also co-founders of the only all-breed
shelter in Emmett.
The day Jean finished her last owner handled Pug, she also
finished his sister, then went on to win Best Brace in Show. Never
one to pass up an opportunity to help others, her first day home
from her initial hospital stay, she was up making cookies for the
veterans, even though she had to use a walker.
No matter what, Jean always put her Pugs' best interests above
her own. When she knew she was sick, she make the difficult
decision to give up most of her remaining Pugs. One of whom
died just two days after visiting her in the hospital. His ashes and
those of seven other of her beloved Pugs were laid to rest with
her. Sure Sweet Pugs continue on, in the pedigrees and homes of
those of us that knew and loved Jean.
Donations may be made in Jean's name to the Pug Dog Club of
America's Pug Health Fund, as a Memorial Gift and are tax

Jean's beautiful Camie joined her on May 3, 2011. Until we see
you again, fly with the angels.
