Wanda was born on October 24, 1930 in Amarillo to Sam and Annie Inman. She married the love of her life, Aubrey Arp on July 31, 1948 in Georgetown, Texas. Wanda was blessed with a large and loving family. From the very beginning, Wanda and Aubrey adopted two beautiful children, Mike and Sharla. They dedicated their children to God and encouraged them to pass this on from one generation to the next. She loved the Lord. Wanda loved gospel music, taught Sunday School, and was very active in all church functions. She was a wife, mother and ultimate home maker. She was an amazing floral designer and she owned and operated Floral Designs for many years. Her greatest joy was having all of the family come together for special occasions.

Through great endurance and the hope of Heaven, she served the Lord, our Jesus Christ, until the end.
