I worked with Wanda years ago at Kelly High School. She was a fabulous P.E. teacher and a fantastic individual. We were blessed to have her in our lives.
To her family, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Wandabelle you will be missed. My fondest memories of High School were having a teacher/mentor in you. You helped me to realize that I could be anything I wanted to be. Your girls from the class of 84 love you and miss you. God be with you and your family.
