Wanda was born at the beginning of the depression years and was afflicted with a childhood disease that affected her mental development. She achieved a likeable little-girl personality and spent much of her life in institutions that could provide proper care for her. The last few years, she was at Kilgore Health and Rehabilitation in Kilgore Texas. Although mentally handicapped, the personality of Wanda was special. She collected dolls and stuffed animals in her room and roamed the halls daily speaking to everyone. She really liked the church services in the home and, if someone had a problem, she would offer blessings and assure them that Jesus loved them. The caretakers loved her and often brought her gifts. Survivors include, Sisters, Reba Lilly of Texarkana, Maxie Rhodes of Dallas; Brothers, Darrell McGowan of Overton, Dean McGowan of Plano Texas. All the siblings grew up in Timpson.
