Wanna loved working in her flower garden and playing duplicate bridge. A devoted wife, loving mother, and dear friend who will be cherished, always, by those whose lives are infinitely richer for the time we shared with her while she ran her Seven-No-Trump bid.
The family will hold a private memorial service.
