Wanda was a proud graduate of Southern University. After graduation she worked as a teacher and then for the City of New Orleans until she retired after 32 years. She held positions at the city in the CAO’s office, Dept. of City Welfare, Parking & Adjudication, and the French Market Corp. Wanda was a devoted wife and mother; and cherished being a grandmother to London. She had a joyful spirit and was always ready to hold a conversation; as she had an opinion about most things. She was an avid gardener that loved working in her yard. She will be sorely missed.
