It was my pleasure to have known Wanda for the few years I was her neighbor.  We enjoyed meals together here at Dove and she was always such a friendly person and pleasure to visit with.   She will be missed by all of use. 

My husband Bob, who died last year, & I were both vocal music students with Wanda in Harper, KS.  She was such a positive force in both our lives & we loved seeing her when we were able to attend the all school reunions & participate in the choirs she led.  We always marveled at her energy.  We were staying at the same motel in Harper she was staying at on our last trip.  It was such a delight to enjoy a glass of wine with her one evening.  She was one of those individuals who leave an indelible, positive impression.  I am so sorry for your loss.

We knew Wanda from OZ Bicycle Club and Biking Across Kansas. We enjoyed hearing all her stories after a long day of riding. She was a wonderful person. 
Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Wanda was gifted at seeing the potential in her students and knowing how to help us grow and become giving, caring adults.  She was the vocal music teacher at Harper High School.  She made singing fun and exciting and taught us to enjoy singing together.  She is my favorite teacher.  Wanda guided me, inspired me and became my friend.  I will miss her. 

 


I first met Wanda at an Oz Bicycle Club meeting many years ago but really got to know her 18 years ago when she went with our ski group to Snow Mt Ranch in Colorado and we celebrated her 80th birthday.  She was a powerhouse of strength and determination.  I aspire to be like Wanda with her zest for life for however many years God grants me to walk this earth.  I will never forget her.

I am honored to have been Wanda's housekeeper and friend! I cherished her positive perspective on life, as it brought me to a better place in my own attitude! My son and I also enjoyed the WSU games we shared together at Charles Koch Arena! I will miss her and know that she lived her life to the fullest! Love you Wanda and family.

Linda, Lona, Jim & family,  I trust loving memories will bring you peace, comfort and strength. This quote from Norman Vincent Peale reflects her stubborn persistence when it came to women in sports as well as in life “Become a possibilitarian.  No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities - always see them, for they're always there.”   She devoted her life to this end and for that we are forever grateful.  Your mom was a tremendous inspiration for our WOW (Women of Wednesday) bicycling group as well as years of volunteering for the Oz Bicycle Club as Wizard and countless years as touring chair. Nine BAK’s (Bike Across Kansas) after the age of 65 made her an icon in our bicycling community.  Two weeks ago, she rode 4 miles with us!  Her legacy will live on forever.  So glad she graced our lives!  

Wanda was a much loved vocal teacher at Harper High School.  Her determination to encourage the best of her vocal groups and make everyone feel an important part of whatever successes were achieved was unrivaled.  Her wit, patience and talent  will be missed by all who knew her.
