She loved her husband and children and adored her grandchildren.

She is survived by her husband Glen; children, Heather of Jacksonville, Tyler and wife, Jessie also of Jacksonville, and Brandon and wife, Samantha of Wakefield, RI; and grandchildren, Angel, Rachel, Evan and Aaron.

She is also survived by her brother-in-law Beau Crumpler, and her siblings Charles Stallings and wife, Sue, and James Stallings and wife, Tressa; nieces and nephews Waylon, Michelle, Michael, Kelly, Josh, Tessa, and Kristina; and great nieces Addison, Riley, Paisley, Jolie and Bailey. Wanda was preceded in death by her sister Donna Crumpler in 2023 and by her and Glen's son Aaron Robert in 1973.
