Wanda June Sluder, born on December 18, 1938, in Mayfield, Kentucky, passed away on December 19, 2024, in Paducah, Kentucky. Wanda was a dedicated homemaker, a role she embraced with love and exceptional grace for her entire life.
Her home was a reflection of her passion, always welcoming and filled with the aromas of her delicious cooking — an interest she cultivated with joy. The garden she carefully tended was a riot of colors, showcasing her affinity for nature’s beauty.
Beyond her homemaking skills, Wanda's greatest joy was her family. She cherished every moment with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and they, in turn, adored their time with her. Her warmth, kindness, and the laughter they shared will be treasured memories for her family who continue to celebrate her rich legacy. Wanda's love and her nurturing spirit will be dearly missed.
Wanda is survived by her children, Rhonda (Jimmie) Viniard of Mayfield, Doug (Remona) Sluder of Paducah and Lisa (Barry) Driver of West Paducah; six grandchildren, Adam Driver, Jackson Owens, Isaac Sluder, Priscilla Leadington, Kayla Sluder, and Autumn Ballard; and eleven great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 51 years, Clarence Leonard Sluder; a granddaughter, Katrina Scott; and her parents, Icy Owens and Mary Magadalene Harris Owens.
