Mrs. Wanda Jewell Tucker Eller, age 67, of Lansing, North Carolina, passed away at her residence on Sunday, October 19, 2025.
Born on November 26, 1957, in Ashe County, Wanda was the cherished daughter of the late Russell and Betty Howell Tucker.

She is also remembered by her brother, Allen Tucker of Lansing, her uncle, Charles Howell of Lansing, and her special friend, Katherine Sturgill.
A member of Sturgill's Baptist Church, Wanda found great comfort and joy in her faith, often finding comfort in her beloved Bible. She had a passion for nurturing her beautiful flowers, canning, crocheting, and engaging in various crafts, which reflected her creative spirit and love for the simple pleasures in life. Wanda was a loving mother, grandmother, and friend.
