Wanda M. Gombosi, 90, a lifetime resident of Niles, let Jesus take her hand and lead her into Heaven on Nov. 16, 2019.

Wanda was the daughter of Lynn and Marvel Weaver, who proceeded her in death; along with her brother, Norman Weaver; and husbands, Paul Clark Gano and William Gombosi, Jr.

Wanda was blessed with 10 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews. She was fortunate to have her dear friend for many years, Robert Norris.

Wanda graduated from Niles High School. She was active at Emmanuel Baptist Church, and Wanda loved the Lord. She enjoyed sewing, cross stitch and scrap booking. Wanda loved making special gifts for family and friends. Wanda was also an avid shoe shopper. She also enjoyed reading, playing scrabble, puzzles and watching Jeopardy.

Wanda’s family would like to give a special thanks to all the wonderful people who cared for and loved her at Buchanan Meadows and Hanson House Hospice. We would also like to thank Bob Norris, for loving and caring, and being there for our mother, for so many years. Every one of these people were a real God send.
