Wanda was born in Talula, Louisiana to Leonard and Elizabeth Mosier on September 8, 1948. The middle daughter of three children.

Her father was a construction manager which required moving from Camdenton, Missouri to other states that he was assigned to. Around the age of 8, Wanda and her family moved back to Camdenton permanently. There she finished her schooling and graduated from Camdenton High School in 1966.

Wanda had a wonderful and unique soul. She loved her family, being in the sunshine, telling jokes, having fun and spending time with those she loved. She was a legal assistant for many years assisting with secretarial duties for a local attorney. Her talent with organization and fast typing skills almost took her to Washington DC, where she was offered a position to work for the government.

Wanda decided that leaving her family was not what she wanted so she stayed in Missouri with those closest to her. Destiny played its part, because not soon after she met her first husband Peter Staude at Tan Tara Resort, where they both were employed. They eloped to Las Vegas in 1976. Wanda agreed to become a truck driver when Pete asked her to join him in this profession. They traveled across the US many times. When Wanda found out she was having a baby she went back to Missouri to rest and stay healthy. In 1980, they were blessed with a daughter whom they named Rachael. Wanda and Pete spent 18 wonderful years together.

Wanda had found her true calling in life, which was Motherhood.

Being a mother was more than a full-time role, at least for Wanda. Having one child and living in the country without neighborhood kids to play with made Wanda not only a mom, but her daughters favorite playmate. Wanda would never tire of finding fun and entertaining things for the two of them to do together.

Fishing, playing house and Barbies, cooking, making snow ice cream, recording Rachael by cassette tape while making dinner, picking blackberries, hunting mushrooms, coloring and drawing, shopping, watching movies, going to spend time with her brother, Leonard, and mother while they would watch Rachael and Aaron ride the four-wheeler and play together.

You name it and she did it. Wanda showed Rachael and many others what real love is.

Her ability to listen and show kindness and consideration were some of her best qualities.

There was never a stranger in Wanda's eyes. If you ever visited her at home, you would be immediately welcomed and offered something to eat and/or drink.

It was common for many of Rachael's friends growing up to come by and quickly look in the refrigerator for one of Wanda's amazing home cooked dishes. Spaghetti, pasta salad, crab salad, guacamole, shrimp you name it. She was an excellent cook.

Wanda was a top-notch bartender and owned bar and grill in the early 90's in North Kansas City. It was around this time that she met her future husband, Raymond (Chip) Booth. Chip and Wanda were united in marriage in December of 1994 and shared many memories and fun times together. Traveling, being with friends and family, sitting pool side together, playing cards, dancing, and listening to music. Great memories and a lot of love they shared.

Wanda decided to become a Casino Dealer for the new Argosy Casino when it originally opened, and Casinos were legalized in Missouri. She was a card dealer for 13 years and was one of the fastest and best they employed.

It was a natural tendency for Wanda to take any job, responsibility, or anything she said she would do to the best of her ability. She was trustworthy and honest in all aspects of her life. She was a natural born caretaker of those she loved, including animals.

As Rachael attended school and played soccer, Wanda would never miss anything to support her daughter. She loved taking photos and has many that bring much joy to look at.

In her later years Wanda focused much of her time and energy towards her two grandchildren, Camden Briggs and Barrett Lennon Kaminski. Only 11 months apart in age did take quite a bit of energy and she would do her best to keep up with the two little boys. She loved being their grandmother and was known as "Jamma."

They loved her cooking, especially her homemade goulash, breakfasts, and buttery popcorn. She paid close attention to things they enjoyed and would bring them gifts regularly. Slumber parties at Jamma's were common and the boys would be excited to watch one of her movies from an exceptionally large collection she had gotten over the years. She was always helping in any way possible and loved being involved with their activities and lives. Outside of time with family and friends, she enjoyed thrift stores which she called her boutique, garage sales, and gardening.

Wanda passed away on February 28th, 2022, at North Kansas City Hospital after battling Covid-19.

There are so many lives that Wanda touched. Her bond with her daughter was one that many admired and all that knew her knew of this close relationship between the two.

She was beauty, strength, compassion, honesty, and love in human form. We will forever miss her, and we thank God that we had her on earth for the years we did.

She is preceded in death by Leonard Mosier (Father), Elizabeth (Lizzy) Mosier (Mother), and Leonard Mosier Jr (Brother).

She is survived in death by R.D. Chip Booth, Rachael Staude, Camden Briggs Kaminski, Barrett Lennon Kaminski, Jake Kaminski, Aaron Mosier (nephew), Evan Mosier (great-nephew), Kimberly Mills (niece), and Kiki her beloved dog.

A celebration of her life will be 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 2, at Passantino Bros. Funeral Home.
