Not long after, Bernie became ill. He and Wandell moved to Safford to be closer to the doctors. After Bernie’s passing, Wandell spent her time quietly serving others.

Wandell’s hobbies included quilting, crocheting and doing genealogy. She also loved listening to the Old Time Fiddlers with her friends. Wandell is survived by her daughter Geraldine May, and son, Richard Dean Frantz; seven siblings, seven grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.
