She met the love of her life & soulmate at a young age. She & Jerry married 4 years later on July 21, 1962. Together they raised their two children in NC. Wanda held several jobs in her lifetime, but her hardest & most successful accomplishment was being “Mom & Wife”! She loved her family more than life itself.
Wanda was the strongest lady on the face of this earth! She was always ready to go! Anywhere! Anytime! Although she faced several challenges her last few years, & most recently months, she maintained a positive attitude & powered thru the toughest of days. She never gave up! She was truly amazing! She was beautiful from the inside out. We are all so blessed & grateful that God made her “our person”.
Wanda is survived by her children, Lynne Cole (Al) & Tim Neal (Renato); sisters, Vickie Barber (Randy), Cindy Brown & Kim Prince (Jimmy); and Mother-in-Law, Ruth Neal Ailstock. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Wanda was preceded in death by a brother, Mike Brown.
