Wanda L. Nicewonder, 69, of Carol Stream, passed away peacefully on April 29, 2024. Wanda was preceded in death by her cherished husband, Bill, with whom she shared 50 wonderful years of love and companionship. She was the loving mother of Samantha (Danny) DeLoera, and the dear daughter of the late Bob and Jettie Nicewander.
Wanda is survived by her siblings, Cindi (Dave) Gaughan, Danny (Diana) Nicewander, and brother-in-law, Tim (Gayle) Nicewonder, as well as being the sister to Bobby and Mike, who both preceded her in death. She was a beloved cousin and aunt to many nieces and nephews.
Born in Bluefield, West Virginia, Wanda moved to Chicago at the age of two. She graduated from St. Michael's High School and dedicated 30 years of her life to providing childcare, touching the lives of countless families within her community.
Wanda loved to listen to the Motown classics, Celine Dion, and Rod Stewart. She also played a mean air drum solo to Phil Collins 'In the Air Tonight'. She enjoyed spending her time in her backyard, gardening and loved to serve and bake for her church.
Wanda's warm smile, gentle nature, and love for others made her a special friend to all who knew her.
Wanda's memory will live on in the hearts of those she touched, and she will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
