Wanda Corwin passed away on August 28,2024, at a local hospital, surrounded by family. She was born in Guilford, Missouri on May 19,1939, to Ray and Gertrude (Rhodes) Langley. Wanda attended Horace Mann in Maryville. She began her working career as a bookkeeper in St. Joseph for multiple companies until retiring with her beloved husband, A. Rex Corwin. They were married on April 12,1968 and settled in Savannah where they would raise their family.
Wanda's greatest joy was spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren (they really love their Grammy) especially if they were on the water boating on the Missouri river or in Lake of the Ozarks. She also enjoyed antiquing and going to the river casino with friends.
Survivors include her children, Darla (Randy) Diggs and Stew (Janette) Corwin; grandchildren, Jessica (Tom) Richards, Jake (Amy) Diggs, Jared Corwin and partner Kate and Joel Corwin; and great-grandchildren Nathaniel, Tyler, Jaxson and Lily Diggs and Elliana and Wyatt Richards. She was preceded in death by parents; siblings Floyd, Lavonne, Ramona, Hershel and Shirley; grandson, Josh Diggs and husband Rex.
Visitation will be Tuesday September 3rd at 1:00 pm with the funeral service following at 2:00 pm at Heaton-Bowman Chapel, St. Joseph. Burial will be at Mount Olivet Cemetery. Memorials can be sent to the Alzheimer's Association.
In the journey of life, the ones we love are never far from our hearts.
