We would also like to give a special thank you to daughter-in-law, Donette King, for her devotion and gentle care. Thank you to Delphi Smith for many months of care for Mom as well.
Honoring Wanda as pallbearers will be Dennis King, Jeff King, Brian King, Donette King, Travis King and Dustin Young.
