A successful merchant, Wanda owned a children's store, Young Fashions, in downtown Searcy, Arkansas, with her mother for over forty years. Upon her retirement from Young Fashions, she worked with her husband in his automobile dealership until his retirement. Wanda was a true force of nature. A woman of impeccable taste and style, she was a gifted interior decorator. She loved Christmas and was known for her beautiful and elaborate Christmas decorations in her home and the homes she decorated for her friends and clients. A great cook, she was popular with Todd's college roommates for the Italian wedding cakes she delivered on a weekly basis while taking baking classes. Wanda was a graduate of Searcy High School where she played clarinet in the band. She enjoyed fishing with her husband and family and was an Arkansas Razorbacks fan. She loved her husband and son dearly and was the best mother in the whole world. She will be sorely missed by her family for whom she was their rock. The family extends its special appreciation to Wanda's nephew, Danny Ray Rhoads for his love, care and support. The family thanks and recognizes Lee Ann Rogers, Julie Biard, Brenda Cullum, and Michelle Burton for their love and excellent care of Wanda.
