Wanda Louise Gullion, 96, passed away peacefully at her Indianapolis home on October 1, 2026, surrounded by the family she loved so much. She was born in Tipton, Indiana, on January 2, 1930.
Wanda married Richard “Dick” Gullion on May 24, 1947, in Tipton. They shared many happy years together. She graduated from Jackson Central High School in 1948 and went on to work at Delco Electronics for 41 years, proudly belonging to the UAW. She and her husband also owned and operated Johnson’s Tavern in Galveston for several years.
After retiring, Wanda found great joy in helping raise her grandchildren. She loved being a grandma and treasured the time she spent with her family. Her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren brought so much happiness and meaning to her life.
Wanda also enjoyed the fun things in life. She loved going on cruises with friends, enjoyed the theater, and appreciated the opportunity to make memories with the people she loved. Her faith was an important part of who she was, and she was a member of Oakbrook Church and First Church of the Nazarene.
Wanda is survived by her grandchildren, Gary (Dianne) McKinney, Amy (David) Jackson, Melissa (Chad) Hyde, Nick Gullion, and Greyson Gullion; five great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard “Dick” Gullion; her three children, Rick Gullion, Kathy McKinney, and Ray Gullion; one great-grandchild; three sisters; and nine brothers.
Wanda’s greatest legacy is the family she leaves behind. She gave so much of herself to the people she loved, especially her grandchildren, and the memories she made with them will be treasured forever.
Visitation will be held at Sunset Memory Garden Funeral Home, 2097 West Alto Road, Kokomo, on October 10, 2026, from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Wanda will be entombed privately at another time, at the family's request.
She will be missed more than words can say, but her family will carry her love, her stories, and her memory with them always.
Forever loved. Forever remembered.
