Wanda lived her life first and foremost as a loving wife and mother. She worked several jobs through the years for Christmas and school clothes. Each job grew to full time, taking on leadership responsibilities, never asking, but always recognized as a good worker with leadership ability. She enjoyed the social interaction of the workplace and the lasting friendships. Her first love was her family. Her second love was her vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, DE. She shared her love of the water and beaches with her children, grandchildren, brothers, sister and friends.
