Wanda Lee Haynes, 95 of Colorado Springs, passed away on April 15, 2022, after a brief illness. Born in Amarillo, Texas, Wanda married Robert Marion Haynes, also from Amarillo, in 1945 upon his return from WWII. Bob's career as a USAF-JAG took them to assignments in Texas, Alaska, England, Washington D.C., and Colorado Springs. In addition to raising three children, Wanda was an active member of Baptist churches, a Scouting volunteer, and pursued educational and civic activities at each location. She was a medical secretary from 1966 until retirement.

Wanda was predeceased by her husband, Col. Robert Haynes, son Robert Marion Jr. (Vietnam) and sister Sharon.
