Wanda Lucas Obituary
Lucas, 39
WORCESTER - Wanda Katrina Lucas, 39, of 306 Cambridge Street, Worcester, MA, went home to be with her Lord on July 9, 2013 at 8:21 A.M. after a long illness. She leaves to mourn her passing her parents, Dewitt Vance Jr. and Iola Vance of Worcester. She also leaves two sisters, Dionne Mercado and Monica Vance of Worcester; and one brother, Howard Keith Lucas of Hartford, Connecticut.
Wanda also leaves to one grandmother, Bernice Adjeman of Worcester and a great-grandmother, Elizabeth Baines of Wilson, NC; and leaves to her passing many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

She also worked as the assistant manager at a Lord's Taylor Store in Worcester as well as Rich's Department Store in Atlanta, GA.
Although Wanda is in heaven with her Lord as we celebrate her home going today, she taught all of us a valuable lesson in the of power endurance that we will cherish until we see her again. So long for now, Wanda, we will see you again soon!
