Wanda Lee Reece, of Hasty, Arkansas, went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, July 19, 2022 in Harrison at the age of 88.

The daughter of the late Homer and Margaret (Farmer) Bolin was born in Harrison on May 30, 1934.  Wanda was a lifelong resident of Newton County.  She retired from Newton County Nursing Home after working over 20 years.  She loved working at the nursing home and visiting with the residents.

Wanda loved flower gardening, reading and sewing.  Her home was always open to family, friends, and strangers.  She was an excellent cook, no one could ever top her mashed potatoes and chocolate cake.  She was a loving mother and grandmother; she also helped raise many of her nieces and nephews. Wanda was a born-again Christian of Pentecostal Faith.  She loved to talk about the Bible and had a heart of gold.

Proverbs 31:10 - Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
