Minnie Wanda Ditty, fondly known as Wanda, gracefully departed this world to be with the Lord on Sunday, August 3, 2025, at the age of 93. Born on January 14, 1932, in Casad, Crittenden County, Kentucky, she was the cherished daughter of the late Lourenzia Alfred (Al) Easley and Minnie L. Easley.

Wanda's early years were spent in Kentucky, but she was led to Chicago, where she embarked on a career with the Illinois Central Railroad. In 1952, she relocated to Springfield, Ohio, to raise her family, a place she would call home for the rest of her life.

A devoted member of The Church of God in Anderson, Indiana, Wanda's faith was the cornerstone of her life. Her passion for service was evident in her commitment to both global and local missions, often traveling with her beloved husband, Larry, on mission trips well into her 70s. Her dedication to helping others and spreading love was truly inspiring.

Wanda leaves behind a loving family, including her devoted husband of 37 years, Lawrence "Larry" Ditty; her children from her first marriage to James W. Kueker of Chicago, IL, James B. Kueker, Harriet A. (Mark) Snow and David R. (Tara) Kueker; her stepchildren, David (Shannon) Ditty, Diana (Steven Pavick) Ditty, Linda (Matt) Beck and Darla (Mek) Logan. She was a proud grandmother to 13 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren, and a beloved aunt to many nieces and nephews.

Wanda's warmth and kindness also touched the lives of numerous friends and extended family members.

In addition to her parents, Wanda was preceded in death by her nine brothers and seven sisters, who she now joins in eternal rest.

Visitation for Wanda Ditty will be held on Saturday, August 16, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM at Gilbert Funeral Home in Marion, Kentucky.

Funeral services will be held at 3:00 PM on Saturday, August 16, 2025, at Gilbert Funeral Home with Bro. Tom Easley officiating. Burial will follow Mapleview Cemetery in Marion.

Memorial contributions may be made to Gideons International.
Wanda's legacy of love, faith, and service will continue to inspire all who knew her.

Gilbert Funeral Home would like to welcome to it’s staff and introduce to our community, Chase Mitchell.
Chase was born and raised in Caldwell County where he graduated in 2014. He is a Licensed Funeral Director. Chase is married to Nicole Faughn Mitchell and together they share two children, Brinley, age 10, and Noah, age 3.

From a young age, being very involved in church, Chase found his place in ministry and missions. He has served on 17 mission trips ranging from service-oriented trips in southern U.S. (l.e., doing “backyard Bible clubs” for children, working in soup kitchens, and programs in recovery centers) to hurricane disaster supply/rebuild trips, to seven trips to Haiti for medical missions.

In 2019, after the passing of a very special friend, Chase was asked by the parents to officiate his service. It was after the service that the owners of Morgan’s Funeral Home approached him about possibly coming on board. Chase accepted, and it did not take long for him to realize this is the field God wants him in. This spring, God started opening doors for the transition to join the family of Gilbert Funeral Home.

Although starting in the funeral service just 6 years ago, Chase has already been able to serve hundreds of families. Each family served he treats as if they are his own and will continue that service of dignity and professionalism.

In his free time Chase enjoys going fishing with his wife, spending time on the lakes, golfing, and spending quality time with his family. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of Pennyroyal Hospice.

“I can’t begin to say how thankful I am to have the opportunity to serve the families of Marion and Crittenden County. I look forward to getting to know everyone and being involved in the community more.”
