Wanda Radwanski VanCamp, 91 years young, was born in Hawkins, Wis., on June
21, 1914, and died Sunday, Jan. 1, 2006, in Baton Rouge. She was reared in
Hawkins by her parents, who traveled to America from Poland. Jacob and
Kathryn Radwanski reared seven children in Hawkins. Ann, Mickey, Adam and
Sophie Radwanski preceded Wanda in death. Bruno Radwanski continues to

Brazinsky Joseph, Keith Brazinsky, David Brazinsky, Scott Brazinsky, Jim
Brazinsky, Paul Brazinsky and Holly VanCamp Stoner. She was blessed with
numerous great-grandchildren. Wanda was a hard worker who was well known
and respected by many. She was a generous and giving person with a strong
Catholic belief that she lived her life by and instilled in many. Her
mission on Earth was simple: "Help others to know ME so that they may have
eternity." Many knew her as the woman who could sew and grow anything. In
Amite, her huge yard sales at her home across from Clemons Lumber Mill were
well known. Flannery Oaks residents, staff and visitors knew her as the
"Bird Lady" because she broke bread scraps daily to feed the birds, hence
giving everyone pleasure. Visitation at McKneely Funeral Home, Amite,
www.mckneelys.com, on Wednesday, Jan. 4, from 10 a.m. until religious
service at 11:30 a.m. Burial in Amite Memorial Gardens.
