Wanda done mine and my late husband's (David) taxes for many years. She truly cared about her clients. However, she always talked about her children and grandchildren because that was her greatest love. I think helping others was her second love but family was number one. May you find comfort and peace in the following days and weeks by leaning on God the Comforter. Know that she is no longer suffering an

I’m so heartbroken and sorry to hear of Wanda passing. Wanda did my husband and I taxes for years. She helped us out so much and we are so grateful for all she did for us. Every time I came to see Wanda, she would always talk about her family. I always enjoyed hearing her talk about her grand babies. Wanda was a very loving and caring lady. We will miss her dearly. Prayers going out to her family now and for days to come.
