She moved to California with her daughter Joy, until she graduated High School. In addition, shortly after Wanda and Lowell married, Lowell’s two daughters Roseann and Carol joined the family until they graduated high school and married. The family enjoyed their first home together, and on holidays Lowell and the girls would take turns churning homemade ice cream for the holiday treat.

Lowell and Wanda built their dream home in Nevada City. They lived there until Lowell passed in 2015. Four years later Wanda moved to Oregon with her daughter and granddaughter and family.

Wanda enjoyed her friends. They play bridge together and visited over morning coffee or lunch. Lowell and Wanda loved traveling with friends.
