Wanda was born and raised in Wilmington, DE, where she would spend the majority of her life before moving in with her son in recent months.

Following her education she worked at Penn Fruit for 16 years where she was recognized as the "Checker of the Year" in 1960. She went on to work another 16 years at Shoprite. During her 32 year career she was known for her kindness and dedication to her customers. Her dedication was evident at home, taking care of her house while also being the primary caregiver for her husband who suffered with medical issues and later dementia. Wanda enjoyed family vacations at Wildwood Crest, working on puzzles and word searches and was frequently a winner at the Delaware Park slots. She loved animals and often spoke about her boxer, Lady. She was a big Eagles fan and hoped to cheer them on during the Superbowl. Above all else, Wanda was a loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, opening her heart to all but especially her grandsons.
