Wanda spent her years growing up in Flat Rock, where she later went on to raise her family. Wanda found joy in the simple pleasures of life. An avid gardener, she spent countless hours tending to her vegetables and canning the fruits of her labor. Her love for yard work was especially evident in the meticulous way she mowed her lawn. Wanda's hands were rarely still, as she was skilled in sewing, embroidery, and crocheting, often creating beautiful gifts for her loved ones. Her creativity extended to crafting cross-stitch and plastic canvas projects and putting together jigsaw puzzles.

Wanda was a proud member of the "Flat Rock Girls," a group of friends who gathered for a luncheon on the first Wednesday of every month. This tradition was a highlight for Wanda, who always looked forward to the camaraderie and laughter shared among friends.

Wanda Redman's life was filled with beautiful moments, loving relationships, and dedicated service to her family and community. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her, and her spirit will live on through the values she instilled in her family and the beautiful work she left behind.

A graveside service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 29th at the Tohill Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to "St. Jude Children Research Hospital," with envelopes available at the cemetery.
