My heart breaks for you! When as a military family we had traveled the world; but, it was those like Wanda who welcomed me and made me feel like family at MCC. And it made all the difference. My sincere best wishes for the Lord to watch over each of you. And may the Lord continue to let Wanda's light and spirit shine brightly in your lives and family!

As a sports reporter with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, I always looked forward to covering the Maumelle Classic in the summer mostly because I got to enjoy spending time with Wanda. Our conversations were typically brief since we both had our jobs to do, but I left each visit with the same attitude -- that this was a wonderful woman who cared so much about people, Maumelle Country Club and the Maumelle Classic. My condolences to Bill and the Jett family. I will truly miss her.

My sincere condolences to Wanda’s family. Marc and Mason, I’m so sorry for your loss. Grandma Jett was so much fun at the football games and she was so supportive to the team. Grandma Jett was also very kind and caring when we lost our grandson. She is a treasure for sure. We love our Jett family and wish peace and comfort in the coming times.

Wanda was the best golf partner a new golfer could ever have. I was very nervous playing my first with her. Not to worry, Wanda made me feel like a champion. I will never forget her kindness. Luckily, she played with me in several other tournaments. Always a thrill to learn from her.
The most important aspect of Wanda was her love of God and devocation to her Catholic faith. May she raise in peace .
