Wanda was a wife, mother, sister, and friend. Her love of cooking prompted her to host big family dinners and reunions.

She was a hard worker all her life. After retirement, they bought a farm in Latium, Texas where they enjoyed raising cattle, goats and guineas. Wanda also found time for gardening, canning, quilting and fishing.

Joe and Wanda became members of the Top Cat dance club where they made many friends and enjoyed polka dancing.

After selling their farm in Latium, they moved to Brenham, where they continued to enjoy their hobbies and retirement life.

After losing Joe, Wanda enjoyed playing dominoes and pitch with her friends and began traveling with her daughters. Her travels included cruising the Caribbean, the New England Coast and visiting Walt Disney World.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, four sisters, four brothers and her son-in-law, Warren Manuel. She was loved and will be missed by her family and friends.
