Wanda was born March 15, 1939, in Sulphur, to the late Aaron O. and Roxie P. (Newby) Cottle.

She passed peacefully on Saturday, Aug. 22, 2026, in Davis, at the age of 87.

Wanda grew up in Sulphur, graduating from Sulphur High School. Everyone who knew her knew Wanda was a very hard worker. She spent many years working as a waitress and cook at area restaurants. The last 18 years of her working career were spent cooking at the Sulphur Nutrition Center, where she formed many friendships. In addition to that job, she and her husband Terry did custom hay baling for the public. She made every step with Terry and did her fair share of the labor.

Wanda was known for her kind heart and her willingness to help others. One of the greatest enjoyments of her life was being a grandmother. She traveled countless miles cheering on her grandchildren at all their sporting events. Wanda truly was their biggest cheerleader. She was an avid fan of the Davis Wolves and OU Sooners.

Prior to failing health, Wanda was an active member of the Midway Hill Baptist Church and found immense joy helping anywhere she could. Survivors include two stepdaughters, Brandy (Crumb) Harman and husband Michael, and TJ Hamilton and husband Rafe; her beloved grandchildren, Taylor (Taliaferro) Dupree and husband Jacob and Toby Taliaferro; one great-grandson, Lincoln; two sisters, Vivian (Cottle) Kelly and Kay Cottle Mark; as well as a host of nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, Wanda was preceded in death by her husband, Terry Crumb; as well as nine siblings, Mary L. (Cottle) Jennfeldt, Aaron O. Cottle, Laura M. (Cottle) Luckett, Robert L. Cottle, Edward L. Cottle, Grady P. Cottle, Floyd P. Cottle, James O. Cottle, and Bruce R. Cottle.
