Wanda was an active member and Sunday School teacher at 85th Street Baptist Church, which her father built, and later Huffman Baptist Church for many years. In 1946, she met and married the love of her life, Lucky. Around this time, fourteen young people came together and called themselves "the gang". These friendships lasted a lifetime. They shared births, deaths, joys and sorrows, and spent holidays and vacations together making lifelong memories for their children. Of these wonderful friends, now only two widows remain. Wanda and Lucky worked together to build a successful business for 40 years. They were blessed to travel the world together, having many adventures along the way.
