Wanda Darga

Wanda Darga, age 95 of Warren, Michigan passed away at American House Park Place in Warren on Monday, July 21st with her loving family at her side. She left this life on the same date that her husband Marvin died only nine years later. That has to be a divine coincidence.
She was born Wanda Turowski in Hamtramck, Michigan on May 7, 1930. She was the daughter of Wincenty and Stanislawa Turowski. Wanda graduated from St. Florian High School in Hamtramck in 1948. She married Marvin John Darga at St. Florian Catholic Church in Hamtramck, Michigan on November 26, 1955. He preceded her in death on July 21, 2016, after 60 years of marriage. Wanda grew up in Hamtramck before moving to Detroit and later resided in Warren. She was employed as an Administrative Assistant at Our Lady Queen of Heaven in Detroit for over 15 years.
Wanda put her heart into Polish cooking. She found joy in making special meals for her family. She loved to shop, loved holiday decorations, and celebrating holidays with her family. She had a huge collection of beanie babies and was proud to show them off. Wanda loved to dress very well. She spent many hours saying her prayers whenever she had the chance. She and her husband cherished long walks together. Both of them belonged to the Close-Knit Walking Club.
