Wanda had a servant's heart. She was generous to others with her time and talents. Wanda was the Ladies Ministry Director and served as a Steward on the Board of the Nazarene Church. She was there to cook, clean, serve, whatever was needed. She was always ready to help with a kind word or the right scripture. If a word or scripture didn't fix the situation, she would pull out one of her famous pound cakes. She was a 5 ft. stick of dynamite! For the past 6 years she has faithfully cared for her mother. She was so proud of her husband and so deeply loved Roy, her children, and grandchildren. She was greatly enjoying being a great-grandmother.
