Wanda played AAU Basketball with the Omaha Hawkettes basketball team in Omaha, Nebraska. She enjoyed jazz and R & B music with Anita Baker as one of her favorite R & B artists. Wanda enjoyed watching NBA & NFL sports. The Pittsburg Steelers was her favorite team as the head coach, Mike Tomlin, reminded her of our late Uncle Eddie Jones.
