I am so sorry to hear this news about Wanda! Through the years I have lost touch with so many but I do remember most of you! I don’t remember how or when I met Wanda but I know we were in high school and every time I bumped into her and we chatted I always loved her unique personality and outlook on life and then we would laugh and go on our way. You will always be remembered and missed Wanda! R.I.P.

Walda attended St Margaret’s Catholic School, so I didn’t meet her until high school. Lost contact for awhile when she went to Parsons Business School.

Reconnecting in the early 80’s.

She was so much fun! Her voice, smile, laugh and style. Truly unique.

She read the newspaper, front to back, every word, I bet she did the crossword puzzle with an inkpen. She was so smart! She’d get behind, but still found the time to catch up.

We traveled, golfed, went to concerts, movies and played a lot of pool.

She adored her Granddaughters and their Mother Faith, who was a dear friend to her too. Sorry for your loss.

We will miss her.
