Wanda Darlene Bull was born on March 13, 1934, in Norton, Kansas, to Floyd and Anna Bull. She was the youngest of six children, with four brothers (Elmer, Kenneth, Charles, and Jack) and one sister (Doris).

When Wanda was just three months old, her family moved to Milton-Freewater, Oregon, where she was raised, attended school, and later graduated. Following graduation, she attended St. Mary's School of Nursing. During a training rotation at American Lake, she met Tom Brittain, who was stationed at Fort Lewis. After three dates, they were married in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Shortly thereafter, Tom was deployed to Korea.

When Tom returned home, he enrolled at Oregon Technical Institute in Klamath Falls, Oregon. During that time, their daughter, Shelly, was born. After Tom graduated from OTI, the family returned to Milton-Freewater, where their son, Mark, was born.

A short time later, Tom and Wanda moved to Pasco, Washington, where they both found employment. Wanda began her nursing career at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, where she faithfully served for more than 40 years before retiring.

Wanda lived a full and active life. She loved sewing and quilting and spent many Monday afternoons working at KOLU Radio. She served in the fourth through sixth grade Sunday school classes and worked on Riverview Baptist Church Bus Route Five. Ever adventurous, she once competed in a demolition derby at the fair, placing third and winning $10 in prize money—a certificate she proudly framed and displayed.

Tom and Wanda also participated in two medical mission trips to Mexico, helping provide care for children with lazy eyes and cleft palates. Wanda learned how to fly, enjoyed traveling with Tom, and visited Israel twice, as well as England and Scotland. She served for many years as a camp nurse and was known for her love of cooking for those she cared about.

Wanda had a unique sense of humor and a deep love for people. She was a devoted and loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, as well as a loyal and treasured friend. She wanted everyone to know they were loved and made it her mission to share the Gospel.

The two greatest days of Wanda's life were the day she was saved and the day Tom was saved.

Wanda is survived by her daughter, Shelly Kiddy (Bob II), and her son, Mark Brittain (Dena); her grandchildren, Robert Kiddy III, Jamie Smull (Eric), Crystal Brittain, Mychel Brittain (Cait), Josh Brittain, Matthew Brittain, and Daniel Brittain; her great-grandchildren, Raine Andersen (Beau), Bobby Kiddy IV, Georgia Smull, Brock Smull, and Joey Brittain; as well as many nieces and nephews.
