She dedicated many years of her career to War Memorial Hospital, where she worked as a dietitian. After retiring, she continued serving her community through her work with legal services. In her free time, Wanda enjoyed relaxing with her favorite game shows and keeping her mind sharp with crossword puzzles. She especially cherished the time she spent raising her children, often taking the family on tent camping trips that created lasting memories.

Marie, Donald (Brenda) Plumm of Kincheloe, Michigan, Martin (Shelli) Plumm of Kincheloe; twelve grandchildren; sixteen great grandchildren; and two great-great grandchildren.
