Wanda Wiedman Obituary

She is preceded in death by her parents (Joseph and Florence Stroehle), her four siblings (Ruth, Bud, Bill and Jerry), her son Joseph Wiedman, and her husband of 71 years, William Wiedman.
She is survived by her three daughters Mary Jo Wells, Catherine Brooks (Steve Prachyl) and Theresa (David) Gasper, her grandkids - Brian (Melissa) Duckro, Carly (Dustin) Duckro-D'Arcy, Laura Gasper, and great grandkids - Fiona, Calvin, Rowan and Eamonn. She is also survived by Greg & Carol Duckro and their boys, Jack & Michael; and Virgil Wells, his sons Andy & Chris and their wives & children.

Chuck Whalen's Dayton District office from 1967-1979; chairing the German Picnic its first 23 years at Carillon Park, and helping with Belmont Community Days. It's difficult to think of East Dayton without thinking of Wanda Wiedman.

Wanda was an important part of my college years. I volunteered in Congressman Whalen's Dayton office the summer of 1975 during which she was so kind and generous. Then in 1976, she arranged for me to spend the summer in DC as an intern for Mr. Whalen. We stayed in touch for many years and she even was present at my wedding in 1985. I treasure the memories of this great lady, and pray that her family is blessed with only happy memories of their years with her.

I first met Wanda when I started working at the City of Dayton. She mentored me and befriended me and showed me the ropes of working at the City of Dayton. She was a great lady and will be missed by many.
