Wanda spent her younger years in Climax Springs, Missouri, graduating from Climax Springs High School in 1951. After graduation, Wanda attended college in Carthage, Missouri for a year before moving to the Kansas City, Missouri area to pursue job opportunities. Wanda worked several places over the years including Hallmark Cards, Western Electric, and Delden Manufacturing Company, but the job she loved the most was being a homemaker.

Wanda was an active and dedicated member of the Harrisonville Church of the Nazarene, where she worked tirelessly to serve the Lord and her church family. In her spare time, Wanda enjoyed baking for her family and nibbling on anything chocolate.
