Born on January 30, 1947, in Limestone County, Alabama, Wanda was the daughter of the late Cullen Carter South and the late Prudie Franklin South. She previously worked as a seamstress for Weather Tamer and most recently worked for Robby Products where she retired. She loved her church, Colonial Meadows Church for Christ, where she was a devoted member. It was important to Wanda that the flowers around her house always be immaculate, and she often enjoyed rocking in any rocking chair. She recently was able to finally mark a trip to Hawaii off her bucket list! Above all, she loved spending time with her family, being surrounded by her grandchildren and great grandchildren, and had a special love for her fur babies.

She is survived by her sons, Terry (Shelby) Brooks of Columbia, Danny Brooks of Columbia, grandchildren, Tiffany Brooks, Katelyn Brooks, and great grandchildren, Kenley Reynolds, Zayden Oliver, Kylie Miller, Amia Brown-Cannon, Cerabel Brown-Cannon, Izabel Brown-Cannon, and Kingston Pierce.
