Wanda Gail Coleman
October 23, 1956 — February 6, 2024
Wanda Gail Coleman, 67, of Junction City, Kansas, passed away on Tuesday, February 6, 2024.
Wanda was born October 23, 1956, in Nuremberg, Germany to Wilbur R. and Dorothy J. (Eastwood) Coleman. The family was stationed at Ft. Riley when Wanda was 3 and she remained a lifelong resident of Junction City.
Wanda worked for Dillons in Junction City and Manhattan for 33 years and met so many friends along the way. Wanda loved Wonder Woman and one of her nicknames was Wanda Woman, she too was a powerful and empowered woman. She enjoyed gardening, especially orchids. Wanda had a true talent for cake making and decorating. She made cakes for all occasions and the most recent one was a loved ones’ wedding cake. One of Wanda’s biggest loves was going and seeing her son Adam perform, near and far. Not only did she always support his passion for music but shared it with him and celebrated him for it. Through this, she got another one of her nicknames, RG (Rock Grandma), and was proud to be RG to many! Her grandsons were such a light in her life, and she really cherished the time she got with them. The way she loved and accepted people for who they were, was one of the many things that made Wanda so special to so many and the Queen that she was.
Wanda is survived by her son Adam Watson, his Wife Lauren, and their 3 boys Theo, Parker and Miles; son, Andrew Wolf and his children Landon Wolf and Mick Reeves; sister, Donna Coleman; Rob & Ellie Watson; sister-in-law Kim Coleman; nieces, Shannon Erickson, Torrie (Tevis) Denton and Jacqie Reisinger; nephews, Ricky Shadix, Clay (Amber) Crocker and Cordell (Heather) Coleman; as well as 10 great-nieces and nephews. Wanda is also survived by a host of extended family, and many dear friends who were family.
Wanda wished to be cremated. A celebration of her life will take place February 17th at 2 pm at the C.L. Hoover Opera House. Memorial contributions can be made to the Midwest Music Foundation, a cause close to Wanda’s heart.
