Wanda Joyce Stevens-Eaves

Wanda Joyce Stevens-Eaves was born to Clydis and Morine Warren in Linden, Texas. As a child, she lived in both Linden and Marietta, Texas. After leaving Marietta, she moved to Dallas, Texas, and later relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada. She stayed there briefly before settling in Los Angeles, California.

In 2016, Wanda returned to Las Vegas and reunited with Second Baptist Church. She confessed Christ at an early age, and as she grew older, her faith only deepened. Sharing the Gospel became her mission-she wanted her family and everyone she met to know the Lord. fI you spoke with her for just a few minutes, it was clear she loved God. She was so intentional in spreading His word that she even included the plan of salvation on her answering machine. To Wanda, love and forgiveness meant everything.

Wanda was self-employed and the proud owner of her own beauty salon. She had many
interests and an entrepreneurial spirit. She loved sewing, shopping, and volunteering her time. She enjoyed creating and decorating— her home would change with each season, and most of the decorations were handmade by her.

Wanda had a special fascination with clocks, placing several in every room of her house. She also loved quirky gadgets, especially those that said funny phrases, walked in amusing ways, or made silly faces. These things brought her joy and laughter.

Wanda was known for reaching out to family and friends-whether through phone calls, texts, or handwritten letters. She was a source of encouragement and always had kind words to share. She affectionately called everyone "Babydoll" or "Sweetie Pie." When you visited her home, you always felt welcome. Her greeting was always the same: "Come in here and give me a hug."

A few things about Wanda: she was never late for anything-and never overstayed her welcome.

She disliked being cold and wore layers year-round, regardless of the season. But no matter how many layers she had on, she always looked cute.

Wanda departed this life on October 2, 2025. She was preceded in death by her parents and one brother, Eddie Roy Warren.

She leaves to cherish her memory five children: Tanza Galloway (Las Vegas, NV), Mardel Jimerson (Temecula, CA), *Terri Jimerson (Los Angeles, CA), Yolanda Jackson (San Bernardino, CA), Robert Thompson (Ontario, CA).

She also leaves behind two sisters: Clydrine Crooks (Las Vegas, NV), Gennie Rodgers (Dallas, TX), and four brothers: Marion Warren (Frances Carol) - Dallas, TX, Joe Warren Sr. (Janice) - Dallas, TX, Willis Warren (Lois) - Las Vegas, NV, Willie F.
Warren (Beth) - McAlester, OK

Wanda is lovingly remembered by sixteen grandchildren: Mikosha, Sagan, Eyohnna (aka Alicia), Christopher, Simone, Brenon, Hassan, Cheyenne, Nelfreed, Kanoa, Lakeia, Daijah, Adrienne, Caleb, Autumn, and Cayly; six great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild.
