Wanda is preceded in death by her parents, three sisters Ivaline Stanley, Gladys Wheeler, Ruth Ann Watson, brother Charles W. Orton and grandson Brookes Smith.
Those left with cherished memories are her loving husband Melvyn Hayes, four children; Linda L. Morse and husband Chuck Morse, Janet P. Smith and husband Hank Smith, Michael J. Hayes and Melvin D. Hayes Jr., two sisters Jo Duke and Marie Murdoch, eight grandchildren; Tammi Kesterson, Angela Jones, Nathanial Smith, Jari Hayes, Amberli Putman, Mary Layman, Douglas Hayes and Trey Hayes, fifteen great grandchildren and a host of other beloved family and friends who will miss her dearly.
She will be most remember by her love and faithfulness as a Christian since the age of 16, her love for the lake and all of her family gatherings. She was an amazing cook and enjoyed doing everything from scratch and with no recipe. Granny loved her wildflowers but especially her Bluebonnets. She was also an active member of the Tamarack Ladies Club and Ladies Auxiliary V.F.W. In the more recent years she had a beautiful love of hummingbirds. She had special feeders for them hanging all around her back porch and loved to sit out there and watch them.
A visitation for Wanda will be held Thursday, March 28, 2019 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Roselawn Funeral Home. A funeral service will occur Friday, March 29, 2019 at 10:30 AM following with a graveside service at Roselawn Memorial Gardens where she will be laid to rest in the Garden of Scriptures.
