Wanda Lee Panter Pendergrass, age 81 of Estill Springs, passed away on Friday, February 11, 2022, at Franklin Manor Assisted Living. A native of Franklin County, she was born in Estill Springs on May 14, 1940, to the late William and Bulah (Wooten) Panter. Before her retirement, Wanda was employed at Wilton for over fifteen years. In her spare time, she enjoyed gardening and working in the yard, as well as listening to classic country music from the 1960’s 70’s, and 80’s and to Elvis Presley.
