Wanda was a woman of grace, kindness, and unwavering dedication. She found joy in arts and crafts, working in her flower garden, canning, sewing, and decorating. She had a keen eye for beauty and a heart that delighted in creating and sharing with others. Helping people was her true calling, and she never hesitated to lend a hand, whether with a project or a kind word of encouragement.
Her work ethic was unmatched. Wanda dedicated many years to the billing office at the hospital until her retirement. Her dedication extended beyond her career into her faith, as she was an active member of the First Baptist Church of Tuckerman, where she served as the church secretary until the age of 84. Her faith was her foundation, and she lived with kindness, generosity, and love each day.
