Wanda Andersen • 1922 - 2003 Wanda Andersen, 80, formerly of Powers Lake, died Friday, April 4, 2003, at the Bethel Lutheran Home in Williston. She was born May 16, 1922 in Milwaukee, WI, to Thomas and Antoinette (Wilk) Kubiaczyk. She was reared and educated in Milwaukee. Wanda worked at various jobs in Milwaukee, two of which she spoke of often that she enjoyed, one as a live-in housekeeper/nanny and later as an assistant in a doctors office. She met Lynn Andersen and on July 22, 1950 they were married. They made their home in Milwaukee for the next 22 years, until moving to Powers Lake in 1972. In 1999 she entered the Bethel Home in Williston where she was living at the time of her death. Wanda was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Her faith was very important to her and gave her the strength to endure the last three and a half years through her illness, very gracefully and without bitterness. Something everyone admired within her.
