Wanda Lenore Gulley, 92
Coeur d'Alene Press | UPDATED 11 years, 7 months AGO
In Post Falls early May 25, 2013, Wanda realized a prayer come true as she woke up in heaven. A great celebration awaited her! She was born on June 7, 1920, to Hugh and Mayme Jordan in Effie, Wash. She married Terrance A. Gulley in Boise on Jan. 21, 1938. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend.
To know Wanda was to love her. The relationship she loved most and had cherished from a young age was the one she shared with her Lord. She was an active member of the Nazarene and Friends churches. She served on many committees and boards. Wanda was a sweet and gentle person that always looked for the good. She was a wonderful cook and hostess and reached out and cared for many. Her influence was felt by all who knew her, for she loved so well and so deeply. She loved being a homemaker, but to help put her children through college she worked in the scale house weighing potato trucks, etc.
After retiring from the Bureau of Reclamation in Rupert, Terrance and Wanda moved back to the Boise valley in 1976. In 2001 they moved to Coeur d’Alene because of Terrance’s failing health. She cared for him faithfully until his death.
Wanda is survived by her brother, Jack Jordan of Post Falls; sister Charlotte Hughes of Nampa; daughter and son-in-law, Buz and Linda Bloodgood of Post Falls; son and daughter-in-law, Terry and Carolyn Gulley of Caldwell; four grandchildren, Bret Bloodgood and wife Joanne, Jennifer Gulley, Tyler and Jordan Newton; and seven great-grandchildren. Her parents, husband, brother Ken Jordan and granddaughter Tera Ewert preceded her in death.
A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, June 8, 2013, at Caldwell Friends Church.
Memorial contributions may be sent to Livings Springs, Inc., 1605 N. Catherine St., Post Falls, ID 83854.
