CLARY, WANDA ANN THOMAS
"And God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no 
more, neither will mourning or outcry nor is pain anymore. The former 
things have passed away." Revelation 21:4. Wanda Ann Thomas was born March
2, 1950, to Mary Lee Thomas and Roosevelt Thomas, of Baton Rouge. She 
graduated from Southern University in Baton Rouge, where she earned a 
degree from the College of Education. She married Michael J. Clary, of 
Trenton, Mich., on June 7, 2007, and subsequently became a short-term 
resident of Trenton. Wanda was baptized on April 9, 1988, as one of 
Jehovah's Witnesses and was a dedicated and faithful servant. Wanda served 
in the Tangipahoa Parish school system for 36 years, both as a teacher and 
assistant principal at Tucker Elementary, until her retirement in October 
2010. She had a love for children and learning and possessed immense 
patience, stamina, kindness and compassion for all of "her" children, 
parents and faculty. She had a glowing and humble personality which 
everyone loved and embraced. Sister Wanda Ann Thomas Clary will be deeply 
and sincerely missed by all who knew her. Sister Wanda Ann Thomas Clary, 60,
