Wanda was raised in Dallas, Texas and graduated from Forest High School. She married Charles Hayden Carter in 1957 and the couple had 4 children. Wanda worked as an administrative assistant for many years.
In her spare time Wanda enjoyed gardening, spending time with her family, bowling, telling jokes, online shopping and always enjoying every minute of life, making everyone feel loved. She loved dancing, decorating, playing 42, watching the Dallas Cowboys and spending time on Facebook. Her family and friends will always remember her as a sweet and giving person who was pure entertainment. Someone who always made sure others were taken care of first before thinking of herself, whether that was birthday gifts, cards or Christmas gifts. She was a fun, spunky, leo-loving grandma with a big heart. She poured all of her love into her family. Ain't This Fun!
