Wanell was a faithful member of the Wagoner Church of God, her second home and the place she committed most of her time and energy to.

Wanell was loved immensely by more people than she ever knew and will be missed by far more than could be imagined.
Above all, Wanell loved her Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. She dedicated her life to Him and was always encouraging and helping others as she followed Him. Wanell was a remarkable woman. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother who left a legacy of love that will last for years to come.
