Wanda Pearl Wyatt Obituary

Aug 08, 1934 - Mar 07, 2020

This obituary is administered by:

Flown to Heaven on the Wings of a Bird

Born August 8, 1934 in Burr Oak, Kansas to Emory Lloyd & Emma Mills. Wanda was a loving Wife, Mother, Sister, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. 

Wanda passed away on March 7, 2020 and was preceded in death by her husband Joseph Wyatt; their Children: Charlene Wilton, Joe Wyatt; and her Siblings: Shirley Mills; Loyce Mills; Leo (Tex) Mills; Howard Mills.

She is survived by their Children: Cheryl Dykhoff, Arvada CO;  Jerry Wyatt, Arvada, CO; Rhonda Shea, Colorado Springs, CO; John Wyatt, Arvada, CO. Judy Case, Pueblo, CO; Grandchildren: Jerimiah, Ryan, Tiia, Hope, Greg, Jerry Jr., Jennifer, Aaron, Michelle, Christopher, Amy; Several wonderful Great Grandchildren; and Siblings: Emory Lloyd Mills, Jr., Rush, CO; Marietta (Mert) Nickell, Fountain, CO.

Wanda married Joseph Wyatt on September 17, 1960. They settled in Denver, Colorado.  Together they enjoyed all the wonder of the Colorado Mountains such as: camping, fishing, jeeping, and yes, she was a race car driver, competing in the Powder Puff at Colorado National Speedway for 10 years. Why she even held the women’s fast time for 2 years after they retired the car!  Joe took pictures of the wildlife that surrounded their home in Grand Lake, while Wanda fed the fox and hummingbirds, but shot the BB gun at the crows!

Wanda came from a musical family. She loved to sing. She played the guitar, accordion, and organ beautifully. You would never know it was all by ear, she couldn’t read a note!

She loved birds; her favorites were hummingbirds and cardinals.

She put together hundreds of beautiful jigsaw puzzles. Most of them were of birds, of course. 

She also sewed. She started making quillows which sold quickly. Everyone had to have one, if not more!

All this aside, her best love was her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, and many friends! 

Wanda worked at Gates Rubber Company for more than 30 years where she would retire.  After retirement, she and Joe would move to Grand Lake, Colorado to enjoy the mountains they loved. 

After Joe passed, she moved to Nebraska to help her daughter and stayed for her grandson Greg after Charlene passed.

Eventually, she moved back to Colorado to be closer to her children and grandchildren whom she cherished!

 

In light of the current virus outbreak we have made the decision to postpone her Celebration of Life. Please add your stories and sign her guestbook. We will continue to monitor the situation and keep you posted.

You can to the family or in memory of Wanda Wyatt.

Love you grandma! We miss you! I can help but think back to all the memories! Climbing the big rocks at your cabin, going on the lake, playing duck hunt on the nintendo, traveling to Nebraska to see you! I remember your love for puzzles, birds, and the amazing quillows & timeout dolls you made us! Love you! I’m so blessed that my kids got to experience your love and sweetness!

I can remember in the 1950s when Wanda, Marietta, and Jr. would sing at different places, once they won 2nd place in the "Home talent show" in Montrose, KS sponsored by the Sonny Slater radio program in Salina. They went to Salina on a Saturday and sang on the show for 30 minutes, the family invited Jacqueline my sister and I to go with them we really enjoyed getting to go!! Wanda was a very special person and will missed by family and friends. With my sincere condolences to all the family. Harlow Vader

I will cherish the wonderful memories I have of Aunt Wanda (and Uncle Joe). They were both such warm, welcoming people who enjoyed life to the fullest. We loved visits to Denver and, later, the mountains, to share in their many passions and hear their stories. I can still hear her laugh, her "Tammy Wynette" songs and just her voice in general. You'll be greatly missed by so many, Aunt Wanda, but I know you're in heaven with Uncle Joe and all the others who have gone before. Sandi and all the Manning family
