Obituary
Wanda Sazama, 83, passed away at her home east of Mission, SD on Wednesday, August 30, 2017.
She was born February 6, 1934 to Everett "Slim" and Freda (Whipple) Hull in Rosebud, SD. While growing up Wanda lived in Parmalee and Central City in SD and in Butte, MT. She attended elementary school in Parmalee, SD and Butte, MT and graduated from Todd County High School.
During high School she met John Sazama. They were united in marriage on July 6, 1952. In their 65 year union they were blessed with three Children; Jerry (Lorena) Sazama, Cheryl (Paul) Andrie and Cindy (Warren) Buchanan. They were also fortunate to have eight happy and healthy grandkids; John Buchanan, Ashley Buchanan, Alan (Taya) Sazama, Cami (Tyler) Jackson, Eric (Naomi) Sazama, Emily (Dan) Stee, Sasha Andrie and Paula Andrie. Wanda was so proud that all her kids and grandkids graduated from college. Education was very important to her.
Wanda worked at many jobs in her life. She was a teacher, a bookmobile driver and a supply clerk for the Todd County School District. However, besides being a wife and mother, her favorite job was being the #1 ranch hand at the Sazama Farm. She oved working alongside her husband. Whether it be opening gates, branding calves, or harvesting the garden; her favorite place was wherever Johnny was.
After retirement, Wanda enjoyed reading, quilting, puzzles and family get togethers. She could never pass up a cold glass of tea or hot coffee.
Wands is survived by her immediate family, (loving sisters) Marlyn, Eunice and Judy; and several friends. She was preceded in death by her beloved parents and her very best friend Ruby Jansen. The two met in high school and lived on neighboring farms into adulthood. They are back together now sharing their news over coffee and rolls.
Funeral service for Wanda Sazama age 83 of Mission will be held on Saturday, Sept. 2 at 10:00 AM at Sandoz Chapel of the Pines in Valentine. Burial will follow at Mt. Hope Cemetery in Valentine. No Visitation will be held. Mrs. Sazama passed away on Aug. 30 at her home east of Mission.
