Wanda was born in Swedeland, PA (Montogomery County) and moved to Chester, PA (Delaware County) with her family when she was young.
She attended Dewy School in Chester and graduated from Chester High School where she was active in sports and was a majorette in the high school band. She often reminisced about the great times she had in high school and growing up in Chester.
After high school Wanda took on odd jobs to support her husband who was enrolled in the chemical engineering program at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. As time went on, she worked as a dental assistant for many years.
Wanda was also a homemaker who made beautiful arts and crafts, including counted cross stitch, stained glass ornaments and painting by number. Her paint by number of Norman Rockwell's Doctor and The Doll is amazing. She also enjoyed cooking, baking, home decorating and yard work. She loved being outside.
After her retirement from dentistry, Wanda volunteered at Taylor Hospital in Ridley Park, PA. for many years with her dear friend Claire Kingsley.
Mrs. Talbot was fiercely patriotic and very family oriented. After her mother passed away, she and her bother John would gather the family up every year to carry on the Polish tradition of oplatek on Christmas Eve that her mother had carried on.
Wanda loved traveling to Florida in the winter to spend a few weeks with her good friends to relax and have fun in the sunshine state.
In her later years, she enjoyed many visits to Maris Grove in Glen Mills with her loving companion Guy (Gibby) Sileo who was also a classmate at Chester High and best friend to her late husband Adge.
While Wanda was ill her niece Valerie Kinsley took especially good care of her. A special thanks goes out to Val.
