Wanda Susan Blomgren was born in Cresco, IA on October 27, 1954, to Marvin and Virginia “Dolly” (Wilhelm) Blomgren. She graduated from Crestwood High School. On January 15, 1972, Wanda was united in marriage to Arlynn Hovey. She found her faith when she married Arlynn and she joined the Saetersdal Lutheran Church. Together Wanda and Arlynn had one son, Wyatt.

Wanda turned into a really good farm girl, parts runner, and always had a helping hand to lend.

She was preceded in death by her parents and brother Russell Blomgren.
