Wanda Bentley Obituary
Wanda was born to Henry Lee Adkins and Lizzie B. Frazier Adkins on January 1, 1942, in the sweet little town of Martin, Kentucky. Wanda lived a full life until her passing on December 3, 2025. Wanda made friends wherever she went and was loved by many.
Wanda married her sweetheart, Marion (Buddy) Dennis Bentley in 1961 and is survived by her three daughters, Rosa Price (Scott), Lisa Cole (Darren), and Rhonda Bailey (David), grandchildren, Michael Price (Miranda), Adam Price (Jessica), Cody Price, Tyler Price (Mady), Ian Price (Alura), Brandon Cole, Austin Cole (Holly), Amber Bailey Swartz, Britta Bailey, Clair Mila, and Annaliese Mila, and 19 great-grandchildren.
Wanda was predeceased by her father, mother, husband, her daughter, Rebecca Bentley-Mila, her brother, Billy Adkins, and her two sisters, Brenda Sammons and Virgie Woods.
Wanda loved to read books, visit with friends, travel, and especially loved living with and helping to care for her two granddaughters, Claire and Annaliese.
Wanda was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many capacities throughout her life. She loved to serve and would often volunteer her daughters to serve alongside her and Buddy.
While Wanda worked in several different capacities throughout her life, her favorite position was being a phlebotomist at Primary Children's Hospital. She was known for being gentle and skilled in her career. She had many fun memories of her time at Primary Children's Hospital.
Wanda had a wonderful sense of humor, was a little sassy, loved fashion, shoes, and jewelry, and made sure that, if nothing else, she had her hair done and lipstick on every day.
