October 31, 1951 — May 30, 2026
It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Wanda Elizabeth Bednego, a cherished mother, grandmother, and friend, on May 30, 2026. Born on October 31, 1951, in the rolling hills of Tennessee, Wanda enriched the lives of many with her warmth, kindness, and unwavering devotion to her family and community. At the age of 74, she peacefully departed this world after a courageous battle with Alzheimer's, leaving behind a legacy of love and treasured memories.
Wanda was the beloved daughter of Olen and Maude, with whom she is now reunited in eternal rest. Her nurturing spirit and infectious smile were a testament to the love and values instilled in her by her parents, who predeceased her. Wanda's life was a testament to resilience, grace, and selfless dedication to those she held dear.
A fervent member of Life Source Church in Perry Hall, Maryland, Wanda found immense joy in the fellowship of her church community. Her faith was a guiding light, and she was known for her unwavering support and compassion towards others. Her presence at Life Source was a source of inspiration and comfort, and she leaves behind a legacy of unwavering faith and kindness.
Wanda's love for adventure and exploration was seen in her passion for traveling to scenic places, where she found serenity and joy. Whether it was the majestic mountains, serene beaches, or bustling cities, she embraced the beauty of the world with open arms. Her travels were more than just journeys; they were opportunities to connect with new friends and create everlasting memories with her loved ones.
Her greatest joy, however, was her family. Wanda was the devoted mother of three sons, Marc Ringrose, Michael Roberts, and Matthew Bednego, who were the pride of her life. She cherished every moment spent with them, and her love knew no bounds. Wanda's grandchildren, Jaron and Andrew Ringrose, and Aurora, Declan, Liam, and Connor Bednego, held a special place in her heart. Her love for them was boundless, and she created countless memories with them that will be cherished forever.
Wanda's home was the heart of family gatherings, especially during the holidays. Her warmth and hospitality made every gathering a cherished occasion filled with laughter, love, and delicious meals. Her legacy of love and togetherness will continue to inspire her family to uphold the traditions she so dearly cherished.
The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has offered support and comfort during this difficult time. Your kindness and compassion have been a source of strength and solace.
A service to honor Wanda's life will be held at 12:49 PM at Life Source Church in Perry Hall, where friends and family will gather to celebrate the incredible woman she was.
