Hope, West Virginia, having moved to Maryville in 1960. She was predeceased by her parents Elbert Burton Eskew and Pearl Ruby Eskew; her husband, Daniel Gray Hatcher, Jr.; her brother E. Wendell Eskew; and her sister Mary Lee Hanson. She is survived by her sister, Wilda Gay Brown, and her two sons, Daniel Grey Hatcher, III (Chris) and Stephen B. Hatcher (Becky). Wanda had four wonderful grandchildren (Nathan, Ben, Megan and Danny), three great-grandchildren (Sophie, Evie and Stephen) as well as numerous nieces and nephews, all of whom she loved dearly.
