Wanda was a 1954 graduate of Smith Cotton High School. She was a member of Calvary Baptist Church where she served many years as a Kindergarten Sunday school teacher. She had been a member of Calvary longer than anyone currently attending Calvary.

Family was important to Wanda. She was a mother figure to her three younger siblings, Tim, Debbie and Tammy, showering them with love and kindness. She kept track of all her family out of care and concern, always ending conversations with “I love you”.

She enjoyed cooking, gardening, reading magazines, taking care of the neighborhood cats, watching the birds, Fox News and genealogy.

Survivors include a daughter, Camilla Ann “Cammie” Kelley; a brother, Tim Mosier; two sisters, Debbie DeGonia (John) and Tammy Young (Aaron); two grandsons, Benjamin Lahmeyer (Dameres) and Brandon Lahmeyer (Johna); two great-grandsons, Connor and Ethan Lahmeyer; all of Sedalia; many special nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews; and her beloved dog, Sadie.

In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by a brother, Richard “Dickie” Mosier, who died in 1986.
