Wanda Francis Benjamin, 83, passed away peacefully on January 16, 2025.
Wanda grew up in New Berlin and moved to NYC in her twenties for a few years. She returned to New Berlin to settled down. In her later years she became a resident at Chase Memorial Nursing Home.
Wanda loved spending time with family, visiting with her sisters and traveled to California to visit her son and family. She was fiercely independent, an avid walker, and found companionship with her cats. She always loved a good cup of coffee.
At Chase, she was known for being good hearted, feisty, and always telling people what was on her mind, often without a filter. The staff always remarked at how fun she was to speak with and how much they would laugh with her. Her nickname was ‘Wandi’.
She is survived by her sisters Eleanor & Beatrice, son Bill and daughter-in-law Ronnie, grandchildren Becca, Alyssa and husband Bryce, and great-granddaughter Adelyn.
There will be Calling hours held at Dakin Funeral home, 17 N. Main St New Berlin on Saturday January 25, 2025 from 1:00pm - 2:00pm with a funeral service to follow.
