What can one say, about a sister-in-Christ like Wanda? She was full of love for all, shared all she knew about the gospel of Jesus with the many she knew, a true church and faith leader of the young and old alike, and an inspiration to all that knew her. If we could only be 10% of what she was, we'd all be amazing people. She will be missed by the many she loved and all that loved her. Once you met her, you had a friend for life. I will truly miss that smile, her kind words, and devotion to her husband, family, and the Lord. God Bless her!

In addition to her many listed achievements, she had an infectious smile, integrity above the laws of man, and an overabundance of love and humor.
