Wanda R. Moore turns 100 on Nov. 19, 2024. Born at home in Oklahoma, she had 10 siblings, the youngest brother and sister still living.

She married Marvin Moore in 1943 and had a daughter in 1947, a son in 1948. There are 5 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren.

Wanda was a stay-at-home mom. She was an excellent cook, housekeeper, and home bookkeeper. She taught herself to sew, play the piano and accordion. In the summer she canned vegetables from their garden.

Marvin and Wanda would have celebrated 81 years of marriage this past June, but Marvin died in April. She has good hearing and does not wear glasses (except for the little stuff)! She was not allowed to go to high school but her life has been filled with touring the U.S. and living in 7 different states.

Family and friends are happy to celebrate this milestone with her at Monark Grove.
