Wanda Fae Trimble Traylor, age 86, of Emory passed away May 18, 2020. She was born August 8, 1933, in Rains County, to the union of Clinton and Dollie Luckett Trimble.
Wanda graduated from Emory High School with the class of 1951. She married Delbert Traylor on June 30, 1951. Shortly thereafter they moved to Dallas and later to Mesquite where she worked for a hat company and Southwestern Bell Telephone. In 1955, they started their family and she became a full-time mother and housewife.
She and Delbert moved back to Emory in 1969. She helped at the family owned Gulf Station for four years and then assumed bookkeeping duties and assisted Delbert and the boys at Traylor’s Garage and Wrecker Service. She was always preparing home cooked meals for the boys and Delbert, until the garage was closed.
As a girl she attended Prospect Baptist Church, and was baptized at an early age in a stock pond. She taught Sunday School, helped with vacation Bible school, and was actively involved in church functions at Elm Baptist Church until her illness prevented her from attending.
