My memory of Wanda was of a very fine Christian lady. She and I opened Greenvale Elementary in Jan. Of 1972. She was the first secretary and I was the first principal. She was the best secretary I had in 31 years.
1st Corinthians chapter 13 best describes who Wanda was for everyone who knew her for many years. Condolences to all the children and family. Love and prayers
