WANDA SUE HALPIN
Wanda Sue Maupin, 72, of Connersville, peacefully passed away in the company of her loving family Thursday evening, November 25, 2021. Wanda had been a patient of hospice at Reid Health for the past week.
One of seven children of Dan and Ruby Daniels Abner, Wanda was born on March 9, 1949, in Buckhorn, Kentucky. She moved to Connersville as a child with her family.
Wanda had an incredible work ethic. It was common for her to work more than one job to help support her two daughters. Many will recall Wanda as a co-worker at the D & M Rack Plant where she built and nurtured lifelong friendships. Others may remember her smile and laughter from her employment at and affiliation with Amvets and Eagles organizations.
Wanda was especially proud to have obtained her GED later in her life. Her leisure preferences were family centered. She glowed in the reflection of her grandchildren’s smiles. She loved taking them on family vacations and shopping for special occasions. She was kind. She was generous. She was the core and the foundation of her family.
Survivors include her daughter, Dianna (Shauna) Kellam of St. Eustache, Manitoba; five grandchildren, Arin (Ali) Bowers of Connersville, Gabrielle Mitchum of Richmond, Abigail Mitchum of Connersville, Trinity and Michael Hall both of St. Eustache, Manitoba; three great grandchildren, Leihum Bowers, Lochlann Bowers and Leah Koroluk; two sisters, Regina (Robert) Light and Nadina Ott-Abner both of Connersville. She was blessed with a number of nieces, nephews and cousins.
Wanda is preceded in death by her parents; a daughter, Krista Dawn Precht; a sister, Darlene Stamper; three brothers, Dickie Abner, J. C. Abner and Ricky Abner. Also, a sister-in-law, Helen Abner.
