Wanda was born December 29, 1938 in Cherokee, the daughter of Thomas J. Evans and Doris Jenlink Evans. She passed away June 16, 2016 at St. Mary's Regional Medical Center in Enid.

In Wanda's early years she was a telephone operator and a legal secretary at the Alfalfa County District Attorney's Office. Wanda left her employment and assisted L.D. on the family farm and became a homemaker. Wanda and L.D. enjoyed spending time together, going out with friends for dinner dates and yearly trips to Estes Park, Colorado. Wanda particularly enjoyed when her daughter, Rashelle and grandchildren, Kelsie and Seth, were able to make the yearly trip to Estes Park. Wanda departed this life ready to go home and be with her Savior and her beloved L.D.
