Wanda R. Gilmore, 85, stepped into the arms of Jesus for her Heavenly Homecoming, Tuesday, March 5, 2024, from Sanctuary Hospice House. She was born October 16, 1938 in Belden to Henry F. and Georgia Colvin Roberts. She graduated from Belden High School. She retired from Lane Furniture as an inspector after over 28 years of service. She was a faithful member of Connect Church in Tupelo until her health failed. She loved Jesus and would let you know when you spoke with her about Him. She would also let you know that you should love Him too! She loved and prayed faithfully for her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and her nieces and nephews. She enjoyed gardening and tending to her yard. Her greatest joy was her family and her church family.
