She worked as a bookkeeper in the textile industry. Wanda also served as a volunteer at JCL Hospital in Sunnyslope as a transporter and assisting at the reception desk for many years.

In loving memory...those we love, walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard but ALWAYS NEAR, still loved, still missed and very dear.
