Wanda was born December 2, 1929 in St. Louis, MO to parents Telford and Neva (Claycomb) Farris. She married Glenn "Bud" Leonard Heindselman on July 24, 1948 in Arkansas. He precedes her in death.

Wanda was a hard-working devoted wife and mother of six. She was a farm wife who went above and beyond to support that lifestyle.  Wanda's family was her greatest joy. She met her future husband when she was two and he was four and they enjoyed 65 years of marriage together. She was a loving grandmother and great grandmother. She was most proud of her family's accomplishments. Wanda had many talents including gardening, painting, crafts, and needlework. She was a well known seamstress and her clientele was wide and varied and her creations ranged from simple designs to elegant formal wear.

Wanda was a fantastic cook. Her home food preservation skills were extraordinary with her crowning achievement being "Wanda's Homemade Apple Sauce". Wanda enjoyed watching hummingbirds and later in life she became a devout St. Louis Cardinals fan, as was her father.
