Wanda Ann (Kemper) Huntington, 50, passed away on December 31, 2020, at the Kansas University Medical Center in Kansas City, KS.
She is survived by her parents, Gary and Ellen Kemper of Phillipsburg, KS; sister Brenda Maeske (Jim Klavis) of Chantilly, VA; sons David of Hays, KS and Shawn of Minneapolis, KS; nieces Jessica (Michael) Stone of Reston, VA and Alexandra Spittle (James Sorokos) of Norfolk, Virginia; sisters-in-law Sharon (Lloyd) Sandlin and Shelly Derting of Minneapolis, KS; uncle Marvin Gaines of Logan, KS and many cousins.
Wanda was a free-spirit who loved her family and friends. She read her bible every day and had a relationship with the lord. She listened to gospel music and attended religious services either in-person or by watching on television. She also loved to watch football and was a big fan of the Kansas City Chiefs.
For the past four years, Wanda lived in Winfield, KS in ResCare Residential Services. She lived with her roommate and had many friends in Winfield including her case manager Christina Pack; whom she fired almost on a daily basis. You were Wanda's friend until you made her mad and then you weren't however she had the innate ability to easily forgive.
Just before her death Wanda moved into shared living with Katie Jordan and her two children. She enjoyed playing with the kids and was excited about her future. Wanda went on vacation with Katie and the kids to South Padre Island, TX and saw the ocean for the very first time. While on vacation she held a baby alligator; she was fearless that way. She really did love adventures and seeing new things.
Her sister remembers Wanda as a caring and loving person who never met a stranger. Brenda wants everyone to know that Wanda was not just her sister but her best friend. “A Little bit of my sister will always live in me. Rest in peace Wanda, you'll always be in my heart".
She was taken from us too soon, but our heavenly father had a greater plan. She will be greatly missed by all.
A memorial service for Wanda will be held at 10:30 a.m. Friday, March 5, 2021 at the Olliff-Boeve Memorial Chapel, Phillipsburg, with Pastor Joel Hiesterman officiating. The services will be streamed live on the Olliff-Boeve Memorial Chapel Facebook page. A private inurnment will take place in the Pleasant View Cemetery, Logan, KS.
