Wanda was born in Harrisburg on February 16, 1942, daughter of the late Revere Stambaugh and Florence Stambaugh (Jumper). Wanda was preceded in death by her parents and by her loving brothers, Roger Stambaugh and Revere "Jr" Stambaugh.

She is survived by her three daughters, Celeste Young (Stambaugh) of Long Neck, Delaware, Tanya Milletics (Johnson) of Loysville, PA and Tara "Kate" Fanus (Johnson) of Etters, PA. She had seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
