She was of the Baptist faith and lived her life guided by the values of love, kindness, and devotion to others. Above all else, Wanda treasured her family.

Wanda found happiness in life's simple pleasures. She enjoyed sewing, tending her garden, and searching for treasures through online auctions, always delighted by a good bargain. Her home was a place of warmth and welcome, and her family will forever remember the love she shared so freely, the wisdom she offered, and the countless memories created through the years.
