She graduated from Madison High School in 1962 and attended beauty college. She retired in 2000 after 22 years of service with Madison schools, working in the cafeteria. She enjoyed ceramics and was an avid basket collector. Wanda was loving and caring and enjoyed hosting get togethers with her family at the holidays. She was an amazing cook and baker and everyone enjoyed themselves to the fullest. Her grandchildren were the special joys in her life and she was their biggest fan, attending every event they were involved in.

She was preceded in death by her parents and nephew, Brad Cook.
