Wanda Jennings

Wanda Sue Rodgers Jennings, 76, of Peachtree City, GA passed away on August 20, 2022. She expired peacefully with family and friends present. She is survived by her brother, Michael Rodgers; her children Mark (Becky), Laura (Christiaan), Jason (Misae); her nine grandchildren Hannah, Matthew, Zebulon, Austin, Luke, Andrew, Alex, Hollie, and Michael; and her great-grandchildren Reuben, Atticus, and Lyra. Born in Chatanooga, TN, Wanda was raised an “army brat”, yet considered Peoria, IL her childhood home and she graduated from Plainfield High School. She entered nursing school as a young adult in Aurora, IL at Copley Memorial Hospital where she graduated and became a registered nurse. Wanda also met her husband, Terry Jennings, in Aurora and so became an Air Force wife and worked as a RN while starting her family. In 1987, Wanda made her last major move from Aurora, IL to Peachtree City, GA. Wanda will be remembered as a second mother to many, always with an open door. She had a great heart for people, serving faithfully in both her Illinois and Georgia church families. Although she enjoyed being alone with a good book, she also loved spending time with friends and family and never knew a stranger. A memorial service will be held at Evergreen Church in Peachtree City, GA, 400 Windgate Road 30269, at 4:00pm on Sunday, September 4, 2022. Feel free to join in honoring Wanda by wearing a little yellow, her favorite color, on the day of memorial! In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Evergreen Church.
