Wanda was born August 5, 1944, daughter of the late George W. Roberts and late M. Elizabeth Goddard. Wanda was a dedicated wife and mother. She loved her family, friends and community. She set an example of selflessness and instilled in her children the importance of commitment to family and the value of hard work. She was a woman of great strength and grace. Wanda's desire was that her children and grandchildren follow in those same footsteps - raising families and serving their community.

She attended Maryville High School, where she played the clarinet in the Rebel Marching Band. After marrying and raising her children in Etowah, she was employed by both Proffitt's Department Store and the McMinn County Tax Assessor's office. Regardless of where she lived, she frequently returned to her true home, Maryville, Tennessee.

Wanda loved going to the beach, traveling, camping, golf, and picnics by the river. She was a Den Mother for the Cub Scouts, and active with the Girl Scout program. She was also involved in the many youth sports her children participated in. She was happiest having a good time with family and friends. Wanda was truly a gift and left a tremendous legacy.

Wanda was married to the late S. Joe Hubbard for 44 years. She was predeceased by her brother, the late George R. Roberts. Wanda is survived by her daughter, Cheri Vaughn, and husband Joe of Cleveland, Tennessee and children Cameron Vaughn of Nashville, Tennessee and Devon Vaughn of Raleigh, North Carolina. Her son Chris Hubbard, and wife Nancy Jo and children, Zachary and Madelyn of Williamsburg, Virginia, and Christopher Hubbard of San Diego, California and Gavin Hubbard of Chattanooga, Tennessee along with lifelong family friend James Drew.
