Wanda Lane was a successful business woman and philanthropist.  She owned and managed several thriving businesses throughout the course of her life-time such as: the Longhorn Café in Alex, A-OKFurniture Store in Chickasha, and Lane’s Furniture store in Ninnekah.

Wanda also aided her husband, Dale, in his heating and air-conditioning business. During her lifetime she was a role-model and mentor to various ages and genres of people. She participated as a volunteer youth leader and as a Sunday School teacher at her affiliated church. Wanda was an inspiration to her husband, children, family and to all that knew her.  She was humble, yet direct and stood up for what she believed in.  She continuously aided the less fortunate and always supported just and worthy causes.  Her love knew no bounds, and she was not only a mother to her nine children but to the community children as well.  Wanda’s legacy lives on through the lives of her children, her children’s children, and through all  that were fortunate enough to know her.
