I lived in Old Shasta next door to the Droschers for approximately seven years. Wanda was always warm, smart and funny. She always had gallons of ice cream from McColls Dairy in her freezer. I will always have fond memories of her as my second mom. Warm regards to the family I am sure they will miss her very much.

In the early 40s, my family and the Harris's were good friends and I remember the many times meeting them at Puddingstone Lake in Southern California for a day of fishing. Then they moved to Northern California settling on Churn Creek and had a nice ranch there. Many years later, I too settled here and enjoyed so much visiting with "Uncle George" and "Aunt Mamie". I did not have the privilege of knowing Wanda in those later years but my workplace rented many pieces of equipment from...

Wanda was such a beautiful woman! She was much more than my mother-in-law, she was my friend. She was smart, kind and had a very quick wit! She could talk on every subject and would give her advice when asked for. She will be truly missed by all who loved and cared for her. Until we meet again Wanda, I will always love you!
