About | Wanda went to be with her Lord on March 4, 2021. Wanda was the only daughter of 6 born to Elmer (Blackie) and Eileen Walker. Even though a child herself, she did her best to take care of her five little brothers. She was born in Fairfield, California. The family later moved to Oklahoma City, Midwest City and then Choctaw. She met the love of her life Ron Baranski at Midwest City High School. They married after graduating and had four children. Wanda had many jobs through the years. She began as a waitress, worked at TG&Y and in the children’s school cafeteria. Wanda was also a bank teller, meat wrapper and ended her career at Tinker Air Force base where she retired. She has always had a strong faith in her Lord Jesus Christ. She was the example of a Godly woman. She showed her faith in everything and led by example, and always encouraged others.
