Assisted Living Center after a short illness. She was 85.
A native of Seminole, Okla., Wanda had lived in Greenville since 1955 and was retired in 1999
after teaching typing at Bob Jones Academy for four decades. After 12 years of mission trips to
Haiti, she and her husband led summer mission teams for 21 consecutive years to
Spanish-speaking countries and helped to found a youth camp in Mexico.
Wanda will be remembered for many things, but especially her gifts of friendship and community
and sense of fun. She was deeply interested in other people and made friends wherever she
went. Wanda was always ready to engage in conversation and particularly to share with others
her love for Jesus.
She is survived by her son Keith, daughter-in-law Paula and grand-daughters Katrina, Heidi and
Christianna Paddock of Triangle, Va.; son Craig, daughter-in-law Amber and grandchildren
Charlie and Grace Paddock of Charlotte, N.C.; and her sister-in-law, Helen Paddock of
Kalamazoo, Mich.
She is preceded in death by her husband of 54 years, Argyle Paddock.
