Wanda was of the Methodist faith. She was a member of the Dudley

Bushnell Methodist Church in Bushnell, FL. But her heart was always

with Dudley United Methodist Church.

It was her family’s home

church.

If you knew Wanda and her stories, there was never a dull moment

with her! She would be like you can’t make this up! Her family was

her priority and she always showed how much she loved them!

Wanda also enjoyed sitting in her recliner chair scrolling online,

Shopping (She told Mark it was on sale), Organizing for The Chili

Parties that were held at our home for the businesses in the Saxton

area, Corvette Trips, Camping Trips, Snow Birding to Florida, doing

things for others, and spending time with her beloved family. These

are a few things of many! Even though she will be terribly missed,

her love and genuine character will be carried on through the

presence of her beloved family!
