Wanda Louise Stephens

Wanda Louise Stephens passed from this life on November 11, 2026, at the age of 68 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Wanda was born on April 9, 1958, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She was the daughter of Harley Dean and Helen Louise (Brown) Stephens. Wanda grew up and attended school in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Following the completion of her education, Wanda operated a daycare for several years and was later united in marriage to Kelly Stephens on September 4, 2009, in Missouri. The couple established their home in Fairfax, Oklahoma, and she continued to live there until Kelly passed away in 2022. At that time, Wanda moved to Mannford, Oklahoma, to be closer to her daughter. During that time, Wanda worked several jobs, including at the Osage Casino, Fairfax Nursing Home, and cleaning homes for several years in the area.

Wanda always enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, making memories and sharing in the simple joys of life. She loved going to concerts, getting her nails done, and riding around looking at Christmas lights. Some of her favorite times of the year were the Fourth of July, Christmas, and the State Fair, all of which brought her so much happiness. Wanda also enjoyed spending time in the kitchen, cooking for those she loved. Some of her specialties were chili, goulash, and spaghetti, and she always enjoyed preparing a good meal for family and friends. Above all, Wanda treasured the time she spent with the people she loved, and those special moments and memories will forever be cherished.
