Wanda Gayle Paskie Lucas peacefully passed away on July 16, 2024, at the age of 83. Born on January 15, 1941, in Houston, Texas, Wanda lived a life rich in love, joy, and unwavering dedication to her family.

They both shared a deep love for the outdoors and spent much of their free time traveling through Texas and Mexico. Together they enjoyed countless summers at Inks Lake State Park and weekends at Matagorda. When DeLana started playing softball, Wanda enjoyed cheering her on and bonding over the sport, making cherished memories together as a family.
