On August 22, Wanda Helen Branenburg passed away at the age of 96. Wanda was born in McGregor, Minnesota, the fourth of eleven children born to Wilmer and Marion Greer. Her early years were spent in Kalispell, Montana, graduating from Flathead High School in 1944.

Wanda was a talented seamstress who enjoyed quilting and knitting. She was an accomplished artist and excelled at oil painting. She enjoyed gardening, attending the theatre and loved to travel.
