March 23, 1939 - October 17, 2023

With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we announce the passing of Wanda Powell, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister and friend. Wanda, age 84, departed from this world on October 17, 2023 to join the Lord in heaven, leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness and boundless inspiration. Born on March 23, 1939, Wanda filled her 84 years with laughter, compassion and an unwavering dedication to her family and friends. Her vibrant spirit touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her and she left an indelible mark on all of our hearts.
The greatest testament to Wanda's extraordinary life is the love she shared with her family. Survived by her adoring son, Rodney Quillen and her precious granddaughters, Grace and Sarah, Wanda's love was a shining beacon in their lives. Her unwavering support, unending encouragement and words of wisdom will forever be etched in their hearts. Wanda was a cherished sister to Ralph Biram and their enduring bond was a source of strength and comfort for both of them. Their lifelong connection served as a testament to the enduring power of family.
Wanda Powell's benevolent spirit shone brightly in her love for those around her. She had a remarkable ability to bring joy and light to even the darkest of days, illuminating the lives of everyone she met. Her radiant smile and melodious voice, for she loved to sing, will forever be imprinted in our memories. Wanda also had a special place in her heart for animals. She adored dogs and over the years, learned to love cats, nurturing them with the same affection and care she shared with her loved ones.
Though Wanda has left this earthly realm, her spirit will continue to shine through the love she shared, the kindness she spread and the beauty she created. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of those she touched, serving as a reminder that love, laughter and passion are the true sources of light in this world.
As we say our final goodbyes to Wanda, we celebrate her life, love and lasting impact on us all. She will forever be remembered as a guiding star in our lives, a beacon of love and a testament to the beauty of the human spirit. Wanda, you will be deeply missed. Your memory will continue to fill our hearts with warmth and light. Thank you for sharing your life, joy, wisdom and for all of your prayers. Until we meet again, may your love continue to surround us like a comforting embrace.
