Please accept our sympathy on the loss of your mother. I saw her last June in Marion when I was back for a visit and we talked for a few minutes. Peggy always enjoyed her contact with Wanda while living on Hughes Rd. and teaching at Elgin South. Losing your mother is a very difficult thing and we send our thoughts and prayers to all of you as you mourn her loss.

Roger and I would like to extend our sympathy to Jo Ann and all the Rouse Family.  I especially will remember Wanda when we worked together on the Tidings Newsletter at TBC.  I so enjoyed her travel stories and her sense of humor.  Olive and her was quite a pair.  Wanda's smile and gentle spirit is what I will always remember about her.  She has blessed my life. Roger & Linda

 Loved your Mom!  When I went down to the Elgin South cafeteria.....ALWAYS loved talking with her,  she was such a great lady.  After she retired and I'd see Weldon and her around town she never changed.......I think of the staff at Elgin South often and have many fond memories of many of them......your Mom being one.  Know our hearts go out to you and I know you will miss her.  She talked often and long about her kids and grandkids.  She was very proud of each of you.  Take care.

We love you Grandma.  
Every time I treat myself to some m&ms I am reminded of Grandma pretended she had to eat the candy because it was her medicine.  She was always joking around and keeping us kids entertained.
The sweet memories of you we have will stay with us always.

Wanda will be fondly remembered by her great sense of humor.  She had a quick wit that could bring us to laughter immediately while spending time together.  

She also especially had such a great love for her children and her grandchildren.  We could always tell they held a special place in her heart.  She bestowed that same love to our daughter, Lindsey.  She was Grandma Wanda to her and treated her the same as her own.

We will miss her very much and are so thankful for the time we had with her.

God Bless the family as they mourn her loss.

Our sympathy goes out to Wanda's family.  We have good memories of Wanda thru out the years. As a neighbor in Prospect & a co-worker as school cook.

She really enjoyed people & life & will always be remembered.
