Waunda was better known to her close friends and family as Jean, Mom, or Grandma Kirkley.  She had a love for all of her family members that was unique to each in it's own way.  She loved teaching her grandchildren and great grandchildren how to cook and do things with their hands, like working in the garden.  She spent most of her time watching her christian programs on TV.  Another thing about Jean was that she loved all of her animals.  They were always a huge part of her life.  Jean will be missed deeply by all of her friends and family.
