      Graveyard Queen:
      Wanda Jean Broeckel peacefully went to be with her Lord on September 18, 2013 with her family by her side. Wanda had a very positive attitude through her long courageous battle with breast cancer. She knew she was in God’s hands and she was ready to go when He called her home. She freely shared this testimony with all she came in contact with. Wanda chose to take ‘one day at a time’ and make the most of each day she was given instead of crying over the ‘hand’ she was dealt. She was a constant inspiration to all those around her. Wanda was born December 30, 1923 to Ernest and Estella (Dodson) Santo at the family home on School Avenue in Walla Walla. She attended Berney Elementary where she was pitcher for the Berney softball team. She and her siblings worked in the family fruit and vegetable business throughout their school years when her father owned and operated Walla Walla Valley Nursery. She graduated from Walla Walla High School in 1942 and began working at Russell’s Candies and Café. In June 1943 she married James W. “JW” Reeves. They had five children, Jim, Patty, Billy, Trula and Lois. They later divorced and Wanda returned to Walla Walla, a single mom with four school-age children and one in college. She taught her children by example a strong work ethic and a deep love of God. Many Sunday afternoons she could be seen running the bases or playing catch in a game of softball with her kids and their friends. She worked as a waitress at the Pollyanna Café and attended business college to learn accounting. Wanda later worked for Ben Hunt Manufacturing and Montgomery Wards. She married Al Broeckel in Walla Walla in 1971, and she began a career in the business office at St. Mary Medical Center. Wanda and Al enjoyed traveling to Alaska, Texas and many trips to the coast to visit family and friends. They were very active at First Church of the Nazarene where Wanda taught toddler Sunday School for many years. She retired from St. Mary’s after almost 20 years to be become a caregiver to her husband until his death in 1992. She and her sister Rowena “Skip” became travel partners and they visited Australia, Hawaii, Alaska, the East Coast Fall Foliage, and a train trip across Canada. Throughout her life Wanda had a heart for helping others and stepping in to see that their needs were taken care of. Everyone knew they could count on Wanda when they needed help, and she was always willing and happy to be there for them. As a child she learned early the difference between weeds and vegetables. Later in life gardening became a hobby and brought her much enjoyment and pride as she nurtured her rose garden and blackcaps which came from her father’s stock. Wanda’s mother taught her early how to can and preserve fruit and produce. Wanda continued this labor of love for her family throughout her life. Her gifts of jams and jellies were coveted by all who received them. She loved to cook and had an open invitation to all that came by. A recent book of “Memories” revealed some of the family and friends’ fondest memories of Wanda were of the foods she so lovingly prepared and the time and attention she gave everyone. Besides her jams and jellies, she was known for her homemade clam chowder and pies. Her grandsons all shared their memories of how Grandma would always have the ‘sweetened’ cereals they never got at home – Cocoa Puffs, Captain Crunch and Trix. Wanda was an avid reader, especially during the long, cold winters when her health kept her inside. In her three years of fighting metastatic breast cancer, she read close to 500 books through the generosity of family friend, Fern Leigh. She also enjoyed word search puzzles, passing the love of their challenge onto her great grandchildren. Wanda had an amazing memory with dates. She found great joy in consistently sending out birthday and anniversary cards to all her family, extended family and friends every year. She insisted on hand picking each card, mailing out 15-20 each month, making sure they arrived the day of the event, or the day before. She is survived by her children, Jim (Nancy) Reeves of Chelsea, OK; Bill (Barbara) Reeves of Lewiston, ID, Trula (Kelley) McFarley of Walla Walla; Lois (Tom) Laeger of Eugene, OR; stepdaughters Sharon (Elmer) Weaver and Mary Blankenship of Lewiston, ID and Sally (Steve) Mele of Nampa, ID; a brother, Rodney (Delores) Santo of Pendleton, OR; brothers-in-law, Elbert Labenske of Santee, CA; Oscar Broeckel of Dusty, WA; Randal (Pat) Broeckel of Vancouver, WA, a sister-in-law, Goldie Santo of Walla Walla;; eighteen grandchildren; 42 great-grandchildren; and 10 great-great grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews and their families; and many, many friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Al Broeckel; daughter, Patty Rimbey; brothers, Henry Santo, Loren Santo, Wilfred “Bill” Santo; sisters, Lela Santo, Rowena Corlett, Marian White, and Lois Labenske. Memorial Services will be held at 1 pm, Saturday 21, 2013, at Amazing Grace Church of the Nazarene, Clinton and Alder Streets, Walla Walla, WA. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Christian Aid Center or Walla Walla Community Hospice through Mountain View-Colonial DeWitt, 1551 Dalles Military Road, Walla Walla, WA 99362.
