Many people knew her through her online Screename:BingoWanda. She especially enjoyed Disney World theme parks. Her favorite character was Buzz Lightyear and she loved riding that ride at the Magic Kingdom in Orlando. Wanda was an animal lover and cared for many pets during her lifetime. Wanda was loved more than she will ever know. She was always there for her family, and often went without so that her family had all that they needed. She gave more than she had. She was the strongest woman you would have ever met. We can all find comfort in knowing that in her final days and moments, she was surrounded by her family that she loved so much. It’s true when they say: “You never know what you have until it’s gone.” That is so true! We will love and miss her always!
