Wanda Sue Smith, 84, of McFall, MO (formerly of Kansas City, MO) departed this earth on Wednesday, August 9, 2017 at her home in McFall, MO.
This website brought to you in part by the following sponsor:
She was born on July 21, 1933, the oldest child of four born to John and Brookie (Daniel) Rice.
In Wanda’s spare time, she enjoyed singing, playing the organ and being outside doing whatever she thought might have needed done as she loved gardening. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt to all who knew her. She was a very good cook. She enjoyed having friends and family come to visit and drink coffee and just reminisce about old times. One of her grandkids used to always ask when coming to visit, if they were going to the good Grandma’s (grandma Brookie) or the mean Grandma’s, which was Wanda because she always carried a wooden spoon in her purse and always told all the grandkids if they didn’t mind she would use it on them. A lot of precious memories were shared with this lovely, Christian woman whom her family will cherish for many years to come.
Wanda was preceded in death by her parents, John and Brookie Rice; brother, Rondald E. Rice; sister, Yvetta Melton; son, Bernard G. Smith, Jr.; and many other aunts and uncles.
She leaves behind her loving husband of 35 years, Gayle Smith, of the home; two daughters, Alice Todd (Roger) Milo, MO, Misty Yurisich (John) Concordia, MO; daughter-in-law, Janice Smith, Waco, TX; son-in-law, Steve Fischer, McFall, MO; 6 grandchildren, Cicily Hoover (Randy) Concordia, MO, Tiffany Todd, Olathe, KS, Robbie Todd, Concordia, MO, Shelby, Ben, and Steven Fischer all of McFall, MO; 5 great grandchildren; one sister, Carol Hayes, Independence, MO; sister-in-law, Dianna Muetzel; and numerous nieces and nephews.
