Wanda was an amazing woman with a sharp wit, and a kind heart. She had a great sense of fun and adventure, whether it was playing a game of cards or going on a trip across the country.

Wanda loved to travel with family trips to Ireland, Alaska and Maui. She traveled with friends across the country, and to Europe. As recent as December 2019 she went on a Caribbean cruise.
In Wanda’s words “I’ve had a wonderful life.”
