She gave her life to Christ at an early age and became a member of the Greater Mt. Carmel Baptist Church in Higgins where she served for many years and was still a devoted member. She loved to sing and found her place in the church choir.
Wanda was a dedicated mother to her one child Errol Harvey. She was a pillar to our family and helped care for her siblings as well as her nieces and nephews throughout the years. One of her favorite things to do was to go fishing and she enjoyed the outdoors.
