Wanda Witt Obituary
Wanda Marie (Goodrich) Witt
Aug. 3, 1928 - Jan. 5, 2022
SARASOTA, FL - The world lost a beautiful soul and heaven gained an Angel. Wanda Marie (Goodrich) Witt, age 93, of Sarasota, Florida and Lake George, NY passed away on January 5, 2022 at Bay Village Retirement Community.
Wanda grew up in the tight knit neighborhood known as Fenimore in South Glens Falls. She later married A. David Witt and settled in Lake George Village, NY where she lived for over 50 years. A well known and beloved member of the Lake George Community, she served as the Village Clerk Treasurer for close to 25 years and took part in many community organizations. In 2008 Wanda moved to Sarasota, Florida where she became a friendly and well loved part of the Bay Village community.
Wanda was a woman of great character who loved to dance and spend time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Always an optimist, Wanda was never without a smile and a friendly greeting for anyone she met. She approached life with integrity, hard work, and a great sense of humor. She was a selfless woman who always placed her family and community first, and was loved by everyone who knew her. She will be missed by all.
Wanda is predeceased by her parents, Leonard and Daisy (Smith) Goodrich; her brother, L. William Goodrich and her son, Joseph L. Witt. She is survived by her sister, Wilma (Goodrich) Casanova; her daughters, Susan M. (Witt) Kasow and Amy E. (Witt) Baker; her grandchildren: Jason Quintal (Vanessa), Benjamin Baker, Elizabeth Baker, Sarah Baker and her great-granddaughters; Daisy and Daphne Quintal.
Donations can be made to the Lake George Scholarship Association. Due to travel considerations and restrictions the family will hold a private ceremony. A celebration of life in Lake George will be planned at a later date.

Wanda was so kind and intelligent and beautiful - inwardly and outwardly. I lived with her at Witt´s End in Lake George, where she welcomed us all into her home and I felt like she made us family. The world is truly less for her passing. I´m so sorry for your loss.

I was so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. My parents Ken and Marilyn we're friends of your mom and dad. I remember getting together with you a few times but don't really remember the details. I know your mom was a wonderful lady though. I saw her one time when I took mom to the monthly luncheon she had with her girlfriends from high school. Your mom was always smiling. I pray that you and your family will feel God's love and comfort during this time of mourning.

Words can´t express the loss of an amazing woman that will be missed by so many people that she touched in many special ways. I loved her dearly and will remember our conversations when I grew up as well as when I grew older, reminiscing our days together which I will hold a dear to my heart.
May she rest now in peace.
