A successful merchant, Wanda owned a children's store, Young Fashions, in downtown Searcy, Arkansas with her mother for over forty years. Upon her retirement from Young Fashions, she worked with her husband in his automobile dealership until his retirement.
Wanda was a true force of nature. A woman of impeccable taste and style, she was a gifted interior decorator.

A great cook, she was popular with Todd's college roommates for the Italian wedding cakes she delivered on a weekly basis while taking baking classes.

She loved her husband and son dearly and was the best mother in the whole world. She will be sorely missed by her family for whom she was their rock.
The family extends its special appreciation to Wanda's nephew, Danny Ray Rhoads for his love, care and support. The family thanks and recognizes Lee Ann Rogers, Julie Biard, Brenda Cullum, and Michelle Burton for their love and excellent care of Wanda.
