Wanda Bellamy-White

On Sunday, April 21, 2024, Wanda Bellamy-White answered God’s greatest call and transitioned to her heavenly reward. Wanda was born on January 26, 1967, to the late Jeff and Georgia Lee (Davis) Bellamy in her beloved city Buffalo, New York. Wanda attended Public School No. 53 and 11 for her early education and then attended Bishop McMahon High School. She obtained a bachelor’s and master’s Degree from San Leo University.

Wanda honorably served in the US Air Force from August 2, 1990, to January 31, 1996. She also served in the Veterans Administration for almost 20 years. She was a Vocational Rehabilitation Specialist and the current President of the AFGE Local 0547 Union. Wanda was an astute advocate. She established rapport with congressional and other leaders to influence legislation that eased veteran's and employee's struggles.

Wanda was strong-willed and stubborn at times, but she also had an enormous heart and an innate ability to solve problems and get “things” done. She was clever and full to the brim with knowledge gained through all her life experiences and research. She knew something about any topic. She was generous, and loyal, and is known for her strong faith in God. She enjoyed reading, sports (especially boxing), soul food, traveling, and helping others. Wanda was a Florida Athletic Commission Coordinator. She believed that people could find success through faith in God and hard work.

Wanda was married to Rodney White. This union was blessed with two children, Kevin Daniel White and Trinity Jewell White.

Wanda was preceded in death by her parents Jeff and Georgia Lee (Davis) Bellamy, sister Helen Tolerson, and brothers Donald, Sandy, Marcus, and Hugro. Her caring and loving memory will live on in the hearts of her children Kevin and Trinity. Wanda is survived by her aunt: Mrs. Barbara Wright. Four sisters: Yolanda, Dibira, Patricia, and Gwendolyn, four brothers: Jeff (Regina), Michael, Ronald (Renee), and Rodney Bellamy of Buffalo, New York. Wanda also leaves a host of nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.

Wanda’s last words to her family “Tell them I will always love them.”

“Wanda slipped away so quietly, perhaps it was for the best. We pray that God may give her sweet dreams and quiet rest. Her life is a beautiful memory, her absence a solemn grief, but she sleeps in God’s beautiful garden in the sunshine of perfect peace,” The Bellamy Family.

Wanda’s departure is gravely felt by her family, friends, coworkers, and others in her community who loved her deeply. The family appreciates your support during this difficult time and asks that you make contributions to Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, New York in lieu of flowers. Also, contribute by sharing memories of our beloved Wanda with each other as well as our community.
