Wanda worked as an executive assistant for CHE Consulting for many years before her retirement. She loved her time spent in bowling leagues at St. Clair Bowl with friends, making beautiful pieces of pottery, and taking cruises throughout the years with Jim. She and Jim also traveled to Florida for several spring trainings to watch the Philadelphia Phillies, making many new friends and countless memories.
