Obituary for Elwanda "Wanda" Upton

She truly enjoyed working for the "gas company" and was grateful for the friend she kept up with from there. She was kind and generous, and treated everyone with dignity and compassion. She was loved by all and will be missed by all.

Wanda was preceded in death by her husband, Jack L. L. Upton; brother, David Porter, Sr.; and niece, Amy Elizabeth Porter.

She is survived by her brothers, Glenn A. and Donald G. Porter; niece, Kim Forleo; nephews, David, Keith, George, Gary, Allen and Kevin Porter; step-children, Jack L. Upton, Bobbie Sue Sauter, Donna Jetter, their children and their grandchildren.

Her service will be 11am Saturday at Highlands Funeral Home, 3331 Taylorsville Road, with burial in Resthaven Cemetery. Visitation will be Friday 1-8pm at the funeral home.

The family wishes to extend their sincere gratitude to Home Instead and Wanda's caretakers, Andrea, Sheila, Donna, Feta, Victoria and Brooke.
