- [S1230] Obituary of Wanda M. DALEY, (Name: Akron Beakon Journal; Location: Akron, Summit, Ohio, USA; Date: 27 Jul 2013;).
Wanda M. Lewis Daley passed away on July 20 at the age of 99.
She was born on May 18, 1914, in Mt. Hope, W.Va., to Albert Henry Lewis and Jennie Mariah Angus Abshire Lewis. After graduating from Mt. Hope High School, she moved to Akron where she discovered the Big Band sound of Jimmy Daley and His Orchestra.

A consummate caregiver, Wanda provided for the needs of both her immediate family and many extended family members. She volunteered with the American Red Cross Bloodmobile program in Akron and at the Summit County Home. She was a member of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Akron, where she taught Sunday School for many years. Beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, cousin, grandmother and great-grand-mother, she was known for her playful spirit – a gift she shared generously.
