Wanda was an accomplished musician, playing her grand piano often. She traveled with and accompanied the Midland Community Theatre Troupe to Ireland to perform.  She played at many weddings and funerals over the years.  Until just a couple of years ago, she still taught piano out of her home.  Her many talents included being an amazing seamstress, costumer, and artist of many disciplines. She will be dearly missed by her family and especially by her loving husband of 65 years.
