She passed away peacefully May 13, 2020, in Moss Bluff, surrounded by family.

Wanda married the love of her life, Ron Stephens, on Jan. 9, 1981, and they shared a lifelong joy for playing golf, fishing, watching LSU Tigers and New Orleans Saints football, and feeding the family. They considered their barbecues and crawfish boils to be a matter of pride. They were gracious hosts and servants to all who entered their home, and it was a rare occasion when someone left their home hungry.
