Wanda Lee

Shrum

Wanda Lee Shrum, daughter of the late Lowell McSpadden and Helen B. (Wakefield) McSpadden, was born in West Plains, Missouri, on January 30, 1940. She departed this life at her residence in Ellington, Missouri, on December 20, 2023, at the age of 83.

On May 11, 1955, in St. Louis, Missouri, Wanda was united in marriage to Floyd O. Shrum and to this loving union two children were born. Floyd preceded her in death on February 2, 2022. Wanda was a member of the Ellington First Baptist Church and attended Faith Community Church in Ellington. She enjoyed crocheting, camping, drinking strawberry milkshakes from Spooner's, going on car rides, and checking on her animals at Darrell's farm. Wanda's greatest joy was having Harvey on her lap and spending time with her grandkids and great-grandkids.

Wanda was preceded in death by her parents, Lowell and Helen McSpadden, and her husband, Floyd Shrum.

Wanda is survived by one son, Darrell Shrum and wife Sheila of Redford, Missouri, one daughter, Linda Pewitt and husband Tom of Ellington, Missouri, one brother, Ron McSpadden and wife Diann of St. Louis, Missouri, two grandchildren, Heather Bass and husband Travis of Ellington, Missouri, and Ryan Shrum and wife Lindsey of Redford, Missouri, and four great-grandchildren, Meghan and Cooper Johns, and Kali-Rae and Kodi-Lyn Shrum.
