Had Larry a year later. Raised her children to know Jesus.

Raised two children.

Marshall was baptized at FBC Jayton.

Work with Royal Ambassadors.

Wanda was a faithful member at her church.

Helped with all the different activities. She was someone who could be counted upon.

Friends called her a “fun character”.

She called a friend one morning and claimed that she had a lion in her yard. Wasn’t quite light yet. Two bobcats in her front yard. “Were those lions?” Just two little old

Something has tore up my back yard. She had a good dog that. Armadillo had tore up everything. Daryl threw him out in the pasture. Wanda wasn’t happy. Daryl shot him. “What about that blood on the house?” “What about the holes?” I’m not in the landscaping business.

She worked at the school cafeteria for 28 years.

The mark Wanda left on her family:

Christian influence

Do what is right.

Love others.

Christian Standard Bible Chapter 31

10 Who can find a wife of noble character?,

She is far more precious than jewels.

11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,

and he will not lack anything good.

12 She rewards him with good, not evil,

all the days of her life.

13 She selects wool and flax

and works with willing hands.

14 She is like the merchant ships,

bringing her food from far away.

15 She rises while it is still night

and provides food for her household

and portions for her female servants.

16 She evaluates a field and buys it;

she plants a vineyard with her earnings.,

17 She draws on her strength

and reveals that her arms are strong.

18 She sees that her profits are good,

and her lamp never goes out at night.

19 She extends her hands to the spinning staff,

and her hands hold the spindle.

20 Her hands reach out to the poor,

and she extends her hands to the needy.

21 She is not afraid for her household when it snows,

for all in her household are doubly clothed.

22 She makes her own bed coverings;

her clothing is fine linen and purple.

23 Her husband is known at the city gates,

where he sits among the elders of the land.

24 She makes and sells linen garments;

she delivers belts to the merchants.

25 Strength and honor are her clothing,

and she can laugh at the time to come.

26 Her mouth speaks wisdom,

and loving instruction is on her tongue.

27 She watches over the activities of her household

and is never idle.

28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;

her husband also praises her:

29 “Many women have done noble deeds,

but you surpass them all!”

30 Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting,

but a woman who fears the LORD will be praised.

31 Give her the reward of her labor,

and let her works praise her at the city gates.

A woman of character is...

1. precious - appreciated by all

2. wise - children and husband are blessed

3. rewarded - more than charm and beauty
