Wanda Faye Watts was born on June 10, 1952 to Emilie and Henry O. Alford in Opelika, Alabama. Wanda died on April 13, 2025 in Tallahassee, Florida.
Wanda is survived by her daughter, Mignon Watts, of Tallahassee, Florida; son, Larry Watts Jr., of West Florida; and dear friends who call her family.
Wanda was an active, longstanding member of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Jefferson County, Florida. Her greatest legacy in life was being a good and loving mama, and she dearly cherished both of her precious children. The man of her life was Elvis Presley! She was an avid, adoring fan. Ebenezer Baptist Church was her second home. She blossomed there under the love and ministry of Betty & Mitch Simpson and Martha & Andy Creel. We would like to express much gratitude to Wanda's caregivers at Aspire Health Group in Tallahassee, Florida. Most of all, Wanda's love and kindness will be missed by her children and friends.
A graveside service was held on April 17, 2025 at 2:00 pm at Ebenezer Baptist Church Cemetery in Lamont, Florida. Pastor Andy Creel officiated.
Beggs Funeral Home, of Monticello, Florida had the honor of serving Ms. Wanda's family and friends.
