Wanda will truly be missed in the community, as my friend who always made her way to me in church to give me a hug, to say she loved me and that she had missed me if I wasn't there. I loved her and will miss her terribly. She was a wonderful person both inside and out. My prayers are with Jack and the family as they continue on in the days ahead. May God give you strength, peace of mind and a comfort in knowing she is with her Lord and Savior.

Jack I m so sorry to see Wanda has passed away. You guys were the best bus drivers ever, I rode bus 58 from kindergarten till 10 the grade. From the 7 th grade on Wanda made me and Albert sit on the seat behind her and you so she could keep us straight. But she taught us just as much as our teachers did. I'm going to miss seeing her around food city and different places. I hope you and everyone are ok
