She was born April 4, 1938 in Brownsville, Texas. She lived many years in Texas and California before moving to Alaska in 1972. She said moving to Alaska was one of the best things she had ever done.

Wanda (“Mom”) was a multitalented woman. She loved to cook and she loved to share food with others. She would jokingly say that she was the best short-order cook in the Valley. She loved to sew. She would craft anything, from a prom dress to Barbie clothes, for her children. She was a member of the American Legion. She loved people and loved to serve them.

After retiring from the Tazilina Trading Post she would volunteer at the senior center and the PRC. She enjoyed talking with others and making them feel welcome.

She enjoyed her family and made sure they had no needs. She was kind, compassionate and loved by many.

She left quite a legacy with 10 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
