Wanda was proud of working with honest determination first as a young lady part time manager of the movie theater in her small home town of Susanville, California then later in her dress shop in Alaska. Wanda moved to Reno, Nevada in the late 1960%u2019s to raise her two youngest children proudly on her own. Wanda started selling electric scissors, as a temporary worker, during the holiday season at Sears in the Park lane mall. She would scour the back room and come up with new things to sell using tenacity and innovative. Wanda became the Candy Lady at Sears, manager of candy bar and the snack bar then retired selling furniture for Sears.
