We extend our condolences to the family of Wanda Green during this difficult time.
Wanda Mae Green, 95, peacefully entered eternal rest on February 9, 2026. She was formerly of Columbus, lived in Fort Myers Florida for 45 years and was currently residing in Cincinnati with her daughter and son-in-law. Born on February 28, 1930, Wanda was a woman of resilience, strength, and unwavering devotion. She grew up in a close-knit family as the youngest of seven children—a role she carried with pride, humor, and determination. As the baby of the family and the last surviving member of her beloved VanHoose family, she embodied a living legacy of endurance and deep-rooted love. Wanda built a distinguished career in sales, rising to become one of the top sales professionals in the nation within the moving industry. Her work ethic, charisma, and natural ability to connect with people set her apart. Later in life, she transitioned into mobile home sales, where she continued to thrive and leave a lasting impression on colleagues and customers alike. Above all else, Wanda treasured her family. She was a devoted mother to her four children: Debbie (Brant Ross), Kelly (Sharon), Pat, and Matt (Jennifer). Her legacy extends through her 10 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren, each of whom brought her immeasurable pride and joy. She loved gathering her family together, telling stories, laughing loudly, and celebrating every milestone—big or small. Wanda’s faith was central to her life. Church was not simply a place she attended; it was a community she cherished and a foundation she stood upon. She loved singing hymns, shopping with enthusiasm, taking trips to Las Vegas, and spending treasured time with her brothers, sisters, and extended family. Those who knew Wanda will remember her vibrant personality, her competitive spirit, her quick wit, and her steadfast faith. She lived fully, loved fiercely, and left a mark on every life she touched. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 10:30am on Saturday, March 7, 2026 at Faith Lutheran Church, 730 Collingwood Ave., Columbus, Ohio 43213. Wanda’s son, Kelly Green, will officiate the service as family and friends gather to honor her extraordinary 95 years. Burial will follow at Glen Rest Cemetery, where she will be laid to rest in peace. Though she will be deeply missed, her family rejoices in the promise of resurrection and the assurance that her story does not end here. Her life remains a testimony of perseverance, faith, and enduring love.
