Wanda retired from General Telephone Company as a Warehouse Manager in 1974 after many years of service. She is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Guided by her faith, Wanda’s life’s work was her family. After raising her two daughters as a single mother, she helped to raise her daughter’s girls after their mother’s untimely death.

She was a wonderful daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and leaves a legacy behind of selfless sacrifice and enduring faith. She enjoyed reading and genealogy and was always a genuine example to her family and friends of how to treat others.
