    Wanda was a very nice lady who loved family and was always concerned about neighbors and friends. Enjoyed having lunch & coffee with her at the Hot Biscuit in times past. She will be missed by many.

    I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Wanda last year while visiting my mother in law. She was a very sweet woman and very easy to talk to. I enjoyed my visits with her in the dining room and the many stories she shared
    My condolences go out to her family.
