We consider Wanda a member of our family, and we loved her very much. When my mother, Celia Lovell, bought her place a few doors down from Wanda in Venture Out in 1995 after my father's death, Wanda welcomed my mother and our entire family into the community. Over the years, Wanda and my mother became "thick as thieves". Both often told me that they considered the other to be one of their best friends. When my mother passed away in 2007, my family continued our close relationship with Wanda. The highlight of our trips to Florida, especially for our children, has been visiting and going out to dinner with "Ms Wanda". We miissed seeing her last year. I really enjoyed talking with her over Christmas and in early January. We will truly miss her; however it makes me smile to think that she is laying out on a beach with my mother in heaven...and they both probably have a cigarette in their hands. We are thinking of Kristen and all of Wanda's family during this difficult time and hope it helps you to know how much we and so many others loved Wanda.
