She was proud of her career as a vault teller for Bank of America and later as an administrative secretary at Grossmont School District. In retirement she and Kenny moved to Hillsboro, OR. Wanda enjoyed camping, dancing, and shopping, but mostly she loved doing anything with and for her family. Wanda and Kenny were long-time members of the El Cajon, CA and Hillsboro Elks Lodge.
