Wanda Fly Burrowes

Wanda Fly Burrowes, age 60, of Water Valley, MS went to her forever home Wednesday, November 16, 2022, at her home in Coffeeville, MS. She was born December 2, 1961, in Water Valley, MS to the late George Fly Sr, and Mary (Wolfe) Fly.

Wanda was a very loving, yet strong willed person. She attended, and later graduated from, Yalobusha Academy in Coffeeville where she played for the girls basketball team. Wanda also loved participating in beauty pageants in Water Valley as well as the surrounding counties claiming the top honors a number of times. After finishing school, her career path kept her living in Water Valley as she started with the Yalobusha County Hospital and later moving to Con Agra.

When not working, Wanda enjoyed doing arts and crafts and playing with her dogs. But absolutely nothing meant more to her than spending time with her family, especially around the holidays. She also adored attending the sports activities of her grandchildren whom she loved.
