Wanda graduated from Istrouma High School and from LSU. She is an avid LSU football and baseball fan and hardly ever missed a game in person or on TV. She loved her Tigers. She loved teaching.

She enjoyed 52 years of marriage to Austin and they took many family vacations and vacations with friends and family. She also enjoyed adventures abroad with friends and beach vacations with her two sisters.

While teaching was her first passion, taking care of babies was second. She cared for many many children over many years. Her "honorary grandchildren" called her WaWa. She was known as the Baby Whisperer in the nursery at Parkway Baptist Church and Meadow Grove Baptist Church.
