Wanda Faye Miller went to join the Lord on July 4, 2020.
She was born in Duquoin, IL on December 13, 1931 to Bersha and Arthur Scarber. As a young girl, Wanda moved with her family in search of farm work, where she met the love of her life, Everett Harris. Both Wanda and Everett knew they would marry each other the first time they saw each other, and they did, in 1960. They had one daughter together, Roxann, and spent the next 22 years happily married until his passing in 1982.
Wanda had a fulfilling career as a nurse’s aide in Belding. She was known for her caring demeanor, compassion for others, and willingness to help those in need - traits treasured by her patients and family.
She spent her retirement with her late husband Glen Miller, who proceeded her in death in 2018. They enjoyed a nearly 20-year long marriage living in Lake Odessa near their family. One of Wanda’s greatest pleasures was watching her four grandchildren grow and seeing her six great-grandchildren.
Wanda will be remembered by her grandchildren for the time she spent with them making cookies, paper dolls, and spending endless hours entertaining them.
Wanda was an avid reader, starting with a newspaper in the morning and ending the day with a book, but she also enjoyed watching westerns, completing word searches, and spending time with her beloved dog and her family.
Wanda will be remembered by her daughter, Roxann (Mike) Shepard; and her grandchildren, Britney (Jarrod) Becht, Cody (Krystin) Orszula, Lacee Shepard, and Hailee Shepard.
Wanda had a smile that would light up the room, and her kindness ensured she never met a stranger. She will be missed by her family, by her friends, and by everyone who was lucky enough to know her.
A funeral service was held Thursday, July 9, 2020 at Living Gospel Church in Lake Odessa.
