Wanda Leigh Daman

July 14, 1934 - December 6, 2012

Wanda Leigh Daman passed away on Thursday, December 6, 2012, at the Hospice of Kitsap County Care Center in Bremerton, Washington. She was 78 years of age.

She was born on July 14, 1934, in Rocky Comfort, Missouri.

Wanda first got married when she was 15 years old to Raymond McGuire — a marriage that later ended in a divorce — and then in 1957, she married Henry Hensel III. She resided in Port Angeles until Henry passed away in 1976.

She then moved to Bainbridge Island for a short time, then to Seattle, where she married Larry Daman in 1982. In 1985, they moved back to Bainbridge Island, where they made their home.

She loved to knit, crochet and sew, making many items to donate to veterans' nursing homes and baby items to planned parent homes. She liked going camping, mostly by beaches, and would walk on the beach looking for nice rocks.

She spent a lot of hours and days looking into her family history.

She will be joining her two sisters Modena and Penny in heaven, and the three of them will probably start a sewing circle.

Larry only wishes he could send her yarn and material to them, but then he is sure the Lord will supply all they need.

Wanda is survived by her husband, Larry Daman of Bainbridge Island; sisters Maurine Brown of Silverdale, Washington, and Barbara May of Kingston, Washington; and her children, Randy McGuire of Sequim, Jim McGuire of Joyce, Leah Hall of Sequim and Tanya Hensel of Bremerton, Washington; also her stepsons, Steven Daman of Pawnee, Oklahoma, and Ronald Daman of Wichita, Kansas.

There are 16 grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren. Wanda was preceded in death by her son Lyn McGuire; daughter Vicky McNeill; and sisters Modena Miller and Penny Young.

Services will be private. Memorial contributions can be made to the Hospice of Kitsap County. Please sign the online guestbook for the family at www.cookfamilyfuneralhome.com.
