In 1980, she joined Anadarko Petroleum as payroll supervisor, retiring from Anadarko in 1986.
Wanda had a variety of interests. She was very artistic and enjoyed oil painting after her retirement. Wanda was an avid reader and a great conversationalist. She enjoyed discussing current events and voicing her opinion, and always had time to listen to a friend or family member. Everyone knew they could always count on Wanda for help or advice. Wanda loved to travel and recently said the one thing she enjoyed most in her life was traveling the country with her beloved husband Dale.
Wanda was a member of Spring Baptist Church and a devoted follower of Jesus Christ.
