Wanda Kennison Obituary
She was a free spirit, and she absolutely loved life. She always lived it by her own terms. Wanda's positive attitude was contagious, and she was the most fun and joyful person to be around. She had a beautiful smile that could light up a room. She was a wonderful mother, daughter, grandma and great-grandma. Her beautiful spirit and her love will be dearly missed.
Wanda was preceded in death by her soulmate, Ricky "Willy-Will" Wilson; her loving dog, Pugsley.
Left to cherish her memory, her daughter, Amy (Tim) Lairson; her mother, Delores Smith; her grandchildren: Alex Grigsby and Bailey (Jimmy) Grigsby; great-granddaughter: Mila; her Twinning family; her faithful companion, Jazz; and numerous family and friends.
