Wanda, Wanda, Wanda I will always remember you serving the hot Mexican food line at LLNL, and you would say:
"You want beans with that ?"
I always loved your spark and tenacity.
You will be missed. Enjoy Heaven, because I know that is where you are !

Your friend,
Michael Sheets

I had just seen her a month before. She would call me when she had recyclables for me to pick up. I would come and visit with her for a while and then she would go out there with me to place those recyclables in the back of my Sonata. Great lady, wonderful coworker, fun, funny human being. I will miss her.

I just wanted to say that I am so sorry to my stepdad wally, Uncle george, Unlce John, and Aunt Carole. I am also sorry to the rest of the family. Wanda was always full of life, if you knew her you know what I am talking about. She had a good life and she was loved by so many. I remember how many salt and pepper shakers she had, she loved them. I always remember asking were she got them and I always wanted to know the storys behind them. I just want to let the family know that if there is anything I can do please let me know.

I remember her with so much fun and laughter. My prayers also go too her family and loved ones. Linda Shugarts
