Wanda was an angel all her life. Everyone who knew her loved her. She was fun and funny and loved to have fun. We laughed a lot and loved to sing. She could harmonize and knew all the words. She was my big sister and I never heard a cross word from her. She will be missed but she is with all the other angels now. God be with us.

I'm Sherman, I lost my father and is saddened by the loss of loved ones. And I'm sorry about Wanda C. Hughes-Rhudy. I hope the bible I encourages your family. Acts 24:15- there" will be a resurrection". I hope that that hope provides a measure of comfort for the future. Again I'm very sorry for your loss. Mr.andersonjr11@gmail.com

So sorry to hear of Wanda's passing. I will always remember her warm smile and laugh. She was such a sweet, loving wife and mother. My mother, Wanda's Aunt June, loved her dearly. May you find comfort in the love you have for her and the memory of the love she had for you
