Wanda was saved at an early age. She always loved being in church and listening to gospel music. She loved tending to her flowers. Wanda was a wonderful mother and grandmother, and that was her greatest joy.
Wanda was preceded in death by her parents, Aaron and Minnie Holt; 11 siblings with her being the last; and her husband, Ben Cooper.
Wanda is survived by her sons, John (Mary) Shipley and Hanz (Sarah Shelton) Cooper; eight grandchildren; a host of great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren; as well as a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
The family would like to thank Tri-State Health and Rehab for their love and care during their time with Wanda.
