Wanda GILBERT Obituary
Wanda Gilbert, age 63 of Springfield, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Thursday, January 20, 2022. She was born the daughter of Alvin and Alice (Craig) Combs on June 5, 1958, in Springfield, Ohio. Wanda is preceded in death by her parents; sister Wilma Ashley. She is survived by her husband Jerry
Gilbert of 35 years; stepdaughter Karen Gilbert; beloved sisters Judy Paul of Springfield, Connie Arnold of Springfield, and Debbie Merchant of New Carlisle; nephews Shannon Ashley, and Jeremy Paul; niece Shante Paul; great-nieces Jaidyn and McKinley Ashley, and Jazlyn and Ireland Paul; great-nephew Silas Paul; along with several special nieces, nephews, friends, and church family. Wanda was a loving wife, sister, aunt, and friend. She will be missed by all of those who love her. Wanda was a faithful Christian and was a longtime member of the Full Gospel Pentecostal Church where she was a Sunday school teacher. After 31 years she retired from Montgomery County Job and Family services where she worked as a payroll account clerk. In her spare time, she enjoyed crafting, and going to family functions with all the kids. Most of all she enjoyed nothing more than spending quality time with her family, especially her nieces, and nephews. Wilma, Judy, Connie, and Debbie could not have asked for a better sister.

To the family of Mrs. Wanda Gilbert,
I personally have never met Wanda. However, I worked with her sister Connie for many years. Connie shared stories about her sisters and the rest of her family daily. I knew right away after meeting Connie that they were all very close and that family was very important to them. I am so sorry and saddened to hear of the loss of Wanda. However, I did hear that one of her biggest accomplishments in life was .... " Giving her life to Christ". So to the family, remember that "WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT - BUT JOY COMETH IN THE MORNING. Psalm 30:5
keeping you in our prayers,
Tonie Reed and Family & The Staff @ Belmont Physicians

I was one of Wanda´s teachers when she was a senior in high school. I remember her bubbly personality and her smiling face. I ran into her not long ago, and she was just as I remembered. I am so saddened to hear of her passing. May you find comfort in the love of family and friends and your memories of Wanda.
