Wanda's obituary

Wanda Annette Smith, 72, of Deridder, LA passed from this life on Sunday, October 22, 2023. 

Wanda lived life to the fullest and everyone she met was drawn to her fun personality and big heart. She was very talented with arts and crafts, as well as floral design. In her young adult life, she and Mark traveled to many arts and crafts shows where their booth was always a big hit with the crowds. Wanda eventually opened her own flower shop, Deridder Florist. Even though it was hard work, Wanda felt blessed to have her own business doing what she loved. 

Wanda was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Wayne Yancey, Marcus Ray Yancey, TJ Yancey. 

God, faith and her family were the most important things in the world to Wanda, her family meant everything to her. Those left to cherish her memory are her husband Mark Smith; daughter, Stacey Sudduth and Rocky of Enterprise, AL; Mike Smith of Deridder, LA; three grandchildren, Blake Smith, Ashley Lynch, and Payton Smith; one great grandson Liam Lynch; sister, Marie Smith and Bo of Deridder, LA and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, family and friends.
