Wanda was born March 10, 1937 to Clarence and Vivian Pettipiece at their home in Diamond Springs, California. In 1942 she moved with her family to Nebraska. The gold mine where her father, Clarence, worked was ordered closed by the government so the miners could be sent to essential mines such as copper and silver for the World War II war effort. The family moved to a farm which included Squaw Mound. They had purchased the farm and moved April 1943 as Clarence could transfer from mining to farming. Wanda attended district #66 country school, but she did so well in school that she skipped a grade and ending up being in the same grade as her brother, Jerry. Wanda always wanted to be a teacher and she taught her two younger sisters before they started school. She graduated from Crawford high school at the age of sixteen and started teaching in September after attending Chadron Teacher’s College for just one summer. She eventually gave up teaching to help her brother, Clayton and family with their young children, Kim and Jay while Clayton finished medical school in Omaha, Nebraska. Wanda worked for Bell telephone in Omaha, Nebraska for five years and was able to help both Juanita and Mary Jane obtain temporary jobs there before they continued their career training. Later Wanda returned to teach with her mother, Vivian, in Marsland, Nebraska and afterward in Belmont, Nebraska for two years. After that she moved to California to help her brother Kenneth and his wife when Joel and Cynkay were young. Wanda returned to Nebraska to help her mother, Vivian, after Vivian’s heart attack. After Vivian’s recovery, Wanda moved to Spokane, Washington where she ran a daycare center. It was there that she met Lana Kennedy and children. Wanda became foster mother to Lana’s children, Chris and Delilah Kennedy when Lana could not take care of them. Wanda and the Kennedys moved to Salem, Oregon where Wanda worked as a clerk at the Marion County animal rescue clinic until she retired. She took care of her mother, Vivian, from 1992-until Vivian’s death in March, 2002. Wanda provided loving care of her foster grandson, Jude after his birth in 2003.
