Wanda Ola Mae Crosswhite Tompkins

Wanda was born on Saturday, April 10, 1943, in Tennessee. Throughout her life, she spent many years working in retail for various department stores. She was a loving mother, wife, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She loved to spend time with her family, but it was no secret her grandkids were her pride and joy. If you didn’t find her gardening, cooking, or searching for ceramics at antique shops, you could probably find her and Roger at a pig pickin’ and enjoying live bluegrass music. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
