Of course, the prize is available to all who accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. She had a stressful life in many ways, but she was a hard worker and continues to educated herself and raise the standard of living for herself and her two children. Wanda attended South Charleston High School with the Class of 1956. At a very early age, she began to earn money babysitting and cleaning houses.

She loved Hospice and felt it was "a true caling from God." Unfortunately, she was forced to retire after about ten years, due to leukemia, which broke her heart.

Also surviving is her daughter Angela Dawn Paxton Dowell Knapp and her children and grandchildren: Crystal Dowell Carter and her children, Lindsey and Robert "Bobby" Carter; James (Jimmy) Dowell and his wife, Nishi Patel Dowell; and their daughter, Samyia; Kimberly Dowell Sprouse and husband Richard Sprouse.

Many, many nieces and nephews, great and great-great nieces and nephews; cousins and others survive her and will miss her more than words can say. She is a real hero in our eyes. Now she will be catching up with all who preceded her in death, if they were saved and waiting in heaven. The family sends sincere thanks to those who have been very helpful in her care, including especially her sister Margy, and her husband Dick Stockton, with whom she made her final home on earth. Also to Claudia-Hudson Sims, who, with Margy Stockton, have spent many years helping her medically, financially, and spiritually and spent many final hours at Hospice with Wanda in her last days. Thanks also to the medical professionals and the staff at Hubbard Hospice House; Tiskawah Adult Day Care (that she loved!); the staff at CAMC Memorial Hospital, West Virginia Senior Services, and her many physicians and nurses who cared for her through the years, and especially her pastors and friends at Oakwood Baptist Church. Wanda is now with our Lord in heaven. May God bless her for all she has done for all of us. Burial will follow in the French Cemetery, Berry Hills Drive, Charleston. on December 27, 2014.²
