EAGLE GROVE - Wanda L. Sellers, 65, of Eagle Grove, died Tuesday, October 28, 2008, at her home in Eagle Grove. Wanda requested no funeral services be held.

Wanda L. Wooldridge, the daughter of Dale and Verda (Davis) Wooldridge, was born January 22, 1943, in Knoxville, Iowa. She graduated from Knoxville High School in 1960 and married Robert Carrol "Whitey" Sellers of Knoxville, Iowa, on May 21, 1960. Following their marriage, the couple made their home in Knoxville until 1963, when they moved to Goldfield, Iowa, and eventually settled in Eagle Grove one year later. Wanda worked for several area businesses throughout the years, including Franklin Manufacturing (Frigidaire), Dodger Manufacturing, Iowa Testing Laboratories, and Umthun Trucking Company, as the couple raised their family in the community. She eventually retired from the Eagle Grove School District, Food Services, in 2000.

Wanda is survived by her three children, Robert J. Sellers of Chico, California, Caroline R. Sellers of Eagle Grove, Iowa, and Joseph Lee Sellers of Owatonna, Minnesota; six grandchildren, Tyler, Amber, Allyssa, Corinne, Talia, and Ethan; two sisters, Mary, and Jane; and five brothers, Danny, Charles, Donald, Jack, and Marvin. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; three sisters, Betty, Bonnie, and Joann; and five brothers, Robert, Raymond Dale, Bill, Edward, and Raymond.

The family requests that friends respect Wanda's wishes by making a charitable donation of their choice, rather than sending cards or flowers.
