Obituary published on Legacy.com by Jones - Gallagher Funeral Home - Starke on Feb. 24, 2026.
Wanda Faye Cribbs, 83, of Starke, Florida, passed away peacefully on February 21, 2026.

Wanda was born on February 26, 1942, in Starke, Florida, to Frank Robert Coleman and Lily Coleman. A lifelong resident of her beloved hometown, she built a life centered on faith, family, and the simple joys of the outdoors.

She found great happiness in spending time outside, especially fishing, and cherished the beauty of nature. Wanda was a devoted Christian who loved the Lord deeply and lived her faith daily. Her greatest pride and joy was her family. She was a loving and devoted mother and grandmother whose kindness, strength, and steady presence will be greatly missed.

She is survived by her son, Richard D. Cribbs (Denise); her grandsons, Kyle Cribbs (Amanda) and Tyler Cribbs; her sisters, Inez Kapellen and Clarice Coleman; and many beloved nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; and her brothers, Robert "Bobby," Roy, Harold, Ernest, and Ellis.

Wanda's legacy of faith, love, and devotion to family will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
