I will always be grateful for the wonderful care that Wanda and Amos gave to my husband Bill Raup in Lewistown PA several years ago. My condolences to Amos and Wanda’s family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Wanda's family at this time. We knew Wanda through many good years at the Lion's Club of Tavares, and also as an employee at the school bus terminal. She was always, always cheerful and happy, and she was truly happy to greet you. She seemed to enjoy her life, her dogs, her family, and her friends. She will be missed by all. May she continue happily into eternal peace.

Prayers for those left behind.
God Bless.

Wanda, you were kind, loving, and generous. You did many good deeds while still on earth, now God will reward you for all these good deeds. I always enjoyed you at work, you were so knowledgeable about your job. So helpful. May you RIP. God will take care of you. May God give Amos the strength at this time and days to follow. God Bless this Family!
Wanda was an incredible individual that I will never forget. As a fellow Lion she was always the first person to say "I'll take care of it". She always put others first before herself. She will be deeply missed and a person that I know I will never forget. Prayers to Wanda, Amos and her family was you go through this difficult time and know that she would never want you to cry, but laugh. Love you Wanda and thank you for being a truly blessed friend.
Dear Sweet Wanda,
You were always the best cousin and friend. My first stop in PA visits were to visit Erie and Verna Renno. The second stop was to say hello to Wanda. With her beautiful smile she would come running to the car with a big hug.
In the early 90's when the class reunion was cancelled at Green Gables, it was Wanda and Amos that worked to place us in a firehall. They spent hours baking several different kind of pies, brought baked ham, and their own frozen sweet corn, and homemade rolls. Everything was delicious.
I will miss our messages back and forth, more then once a week. She would always end them with her favorite emojis.
Dear Amos, and both families, thank you for always taking care and loving Wanda through your love and love of God. My arms are around you with deepest condolences. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you now and the days ahead. God Bless you.
Love, Josie
Amos, I am so sorry. I have been at a children’s pastors conference all week and just now learned about Wanda. You are in my prayers. Wanda was an amazing, kind, thoughtful, and generous person. I loved her spirit and spunk! She will be sadly missed by all that knew her and all the lives she touched.
Wanda and I had a great relationship. We had a standing joke with her sister Barb as to who was the "Pretty One"! She is now the beautiful one looking down on us from heaven!
