Wanda Harrison

Wanda Harrison, (87) Graduated to her heavenly home on August 8, 2022.

Wanda was preceded by her husband Frank, daughter Christina, grandson Jerome and Her parents Nila and Russell Olels. She is survived by her brother, Archie Olels, children, Russ, Dee and Cami, grandchildren, Stacey, Rachel, Michael, Melissa, Mark, Christopher, Nicholas and Zachary, great- grandchildren, Skylar, Ashlynn, Shaylee, Braeden, Dallas, Peyton, Quinton, Chloe and Lyra.

Wanda had an audacious love for children that she inherited from her parents. She taught for decades in the Moses Lake School District and Founded the Youth Senior Connection (YSC) program. She hosted Birthday Parties for Jesus in her home with neighborhood children and adopted many friends’ children as her own grandchildren.

After Frank's death in 2011, she was determined to overcome loneliness by hosting anyone without family in the area she could for dinners in her home. Each friend (old or new) would contribute to the meal in some way and there was much love and laughter around her table.

God created her with strength, drive, grit, determination, and a heart full of love. She will be missed by the many her life has touched so deeply. Wanda is now celebrating with Jesus in heaven, pain free, dancing with Frank and catching up with those friends and family that have gone before her.
