Wanda Diane Thompson's obituary
Wanda Diane Thompson Keffer was a joker and loved to carry on. Like joking with her youngest great niece about peeing in her bed.
She liked to give people nicknames. Like calling her great nephew Blake McCallister, Mayonnaise face.
She was also always up for a good food fight, whether it was her starting them or her brother David Robert Thompson.
She was close with all her siblings, but had the closest relationship with Kay Thompson Harkless. They were always together.
Which, while deeply sad and heartbreaking, was why it wasn’t a surprise, that Wanda followed her sister Kay, in death a year later.
Wanda was very fond of spending time with her grandchildren.
