Wanda was born October 27th, 1943 to Emmett and Winona Nicolaysen Davis in Nampa, Idaho.

She graduated from Nampa High School Class of 1962.

 She lived her whole life here except for 8 years when she moved to Tacoma, Washington with her husband Richard Foreman.  There her son Richard (Rick) Jr. was born.  Wanda worked for 7 years at Boeing in Renton, Washington.

In 1972 she moved back to Nampa.  She and Richard divorced, and she married Dennis Crandall.  From this union her sons Arthur and Tracey were born. 

In 1984 she and Dennis divorced.  In 1985 she rekindled a love with a childhood sweetheart Wayne Dodge.  Although they never married, he was truly her soulmate.  They loved to go hunting and camping, and she enjoyed their trips to Oregon.  Whenever she could, she loved to play Pinochle at least 2 or 3 nights a week.

Wanda retired from JR Simplot in Caldwell in 2005 after 28 years there.  Most of it she spent in the freezer driving hyster, except for the 2 ½ years she was a facilitator on shift 3.
