Funeral services will be held on October 2 at 11 A.M. at Sacred Heart Catholic 
Church in Morgan City for Wanda Barbier McClelland, 79, a native and lifelong 
resident of Morgan City. 
Wanda passed away in the early morning surounded by her three surviving 
children and her husband. 

Interment will be in the Morgan City Cemetery.

A devoted and dedicated mother and wife, Wanda is survived by her husband of 
fifty-eight years, Robert (Bob) McClelland, Jr. of Morgan City, her oldest son, 
Robert McClelland III and his wife, Kristi, of Roanoke, VA; her youngest son, 
Ralph McClelland of Abbeville, LA; and her daughter, Marcia McClelland 
Boudreaux of San Francisco, CA. She was preceded in death by her son, Andrew 
McClelland. She is also survived by five grandchildren; Chad and Nicole 
McClelland of Lafayette, Robert McClelland IV and Gabrielle McClelland of 
Roanoke, VA and, Camren Boudreaux of San Francisco, CA.

Wanda was born on September 24, 1936 in Morgan City to Emile and Philonese 
Barbier. A Morgan City High School graduate, Wanda met her future husband in 
the late fifties while employed at Morgan City Bank. Not long after their first 
date, their fifty-eight year marriage began. In the late nineties Wanda retired 
from Lakewood Hospital after more than thirty years of service. For several 
years following her retirement, she and Bob enjoyed traveling in their motor 
home while working part-time in Florida and Tennessee. They also spent many 
happy days enjoying the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

At the time of her death, Wanda was an active and dedicated member of Sacred 
Heart Catholic Church and a long-time member of the Marine Corp League 
Auxiliary. She also served on the Lakewood Hospital Credit Union Board of 
Directors for many years.

Wanda was a faith-filled loving wife, mother, aunt, cousin, and friend. Always 
willing to help out anyone in need, Wanda never met a stranger. She was a kind-
hearted and generous woman to all who knew her. Even through the end of her 
illness she continued to offer support to those who were closest to her heart. 
A true gift from God, she touched many lives.

Pallbearers will be Wanda's beloved sons and her grandchildren

The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the sixth floor staff 
of Teche Regional Medical Center and to Dr. Lantier Albert, Dr. Kristi Prejean,
