She is preceded in death by her parents; her husband of over 30 years, Billy L. Schales and sisters, Gloria Jean "Sister", Lula, Mary Jo, and Carol. Left to cherish her memory are her daughters, Elizabeth Schales and Lisa Frazier and husband, Brett; grandson, Bailey Frazier and wife, Kaitlyn; son, John Knighton, and husband, Greg; sisters, Peggy Shealy and Barbara Cook; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Honoring Wanda as pallbearers will be Chuck Beverage, Greg Blum, Jarrell Cook, Justin Cook, Brett Frazier, and Brian Frazier.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in Wanda's memory may be made to the American Heart Association, www.heart.org/aha/donate or to a charity of the donor's choice.
