Wanda Joyce Hines

Wanda was born on February 6, 1936, in Muncie, Indiana, to Brady and Alma (nee Choate) Smith. She graduated from Muncie Central High School. She worked for the Muncie Star Newspaper, Sears, and Todd Uniforms, always in customer service, when she was not working at home for her family.

She is survived by her beloved husband of 66 years, Charles Hines; Her children, Cathy Gauerke (Daniel), Chuck Hines (Deb) and Whitney Turner (Dale); Grandchildren: Corey Turner (Audrey), Brent Turner, Kelsey Turner and Casey Hines; Siblings: Shirley Smith (Phyllis), Jerry Smith (Carolyn), Larry Smith, Bobby Smith, and Lois Bell; along with many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her infant son, Douglas Hines, her parents, and her siblings Sheldon Smith, Shellie Smith, Emma Lee Wright, and Billie Smith.

Wanda was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, daughter, and friend who will be deeply missed by all. Wanda never met a stranger who didn’t become a friend.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the Susan G Komen Foundation. A Memorial Service is being planned by the family for a future date.
