Wanda Bean Wolf is survived by two brothers, Vincent Donald Bean and Lesley Bean; a son, Jerry Wolf; a daughter, Colleen Trouse; six grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. A resident of Kelseyville for over 40 years, Wanda was very involved in the life of Lake County. Vice president and membership chairman of the Lake County Historical Society, she attended many State conferences and received an award as an outstanding member of the California State Historical Society. In 1989 Wanda is pictured in the Lake County Record Bee receiving a certificate of recognition for her role as a docent with the Clear Lake State Park Interpretive Association. She was one of the founders of the Clear Lake State Park Interpretive Society and served as the first President.
Besides being a docent at the State Park, her great joy was being Smokey the Bear's assistant and going to schools to educate children about fire prevention.
Wanda was born in Elwood, Kansas but, given an opportunity, she would tell you about the adventures of her extended family traveling to the promised land of California in 1924 in three Fords. They camped every night. Sometimes the men worked in the fields helping harvesters along the way. It took many weeks to get to California.
During World War II, Wanda worked in a Defense Factory making wing gas tanks for fighter planes.
Wanda was surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren at a wonderful 96th birthday party.
Wanda once wrote, "So far, I have had a good time and I think it is a wonderful life."
