Wanda passed away on May 17, 2022, after a courageous battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. A devout Christian, Wanda has ascended into the hands of her lord and savior Jesus Christ.

She is survived by her brother Raymond Schmidt (Carol), niece Lisa McLaughlin (Shane) nephew Stephen Schmidt, and nephew Christopher Schmidt (Kathleen), and many “great nieces and great nephews.”

Wanda was born and raised in Richboro, Pennsylvania, before she began her journey through life. Wanda received her Bachelor of Science degree from Widener University and her Master of Business Administration from Wake Forest University later in life. Wanda joined the Naval Reserves as an enlisted sailor and was successful in applying for Officers Candidates School and received her Commission. Wanda was later activated and deployed to NATO Headquarters, Sarajevo, Bosnia, for 3 years where she provided evidentiary material for the International Criminal Tribunal before retiring from the Naval Reserves and the business community.

A passionate and committed volunteer, Wanda had a lifelong devotion to serving others in need. She donated significant time and energy to the Union Mission Ministries located in Norfolk as well as numerous international non-profit organizations that provided food, water, and basic shelter to those in need.

She will be greatly missed by family and friends, especially the Council Rock class of 1965 Ladies.
