Wanda Faye Argetsinger

In Loving Memory of Wanda Faye Argetsinger

March 30, 1936 – June 11, 2025

Wanda Faye Argetsinger, 89, passed away peacefully on June 11, 2025, in her Spokane Valley home, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on March 30, 1936, in Wagoner, Oklahoma, Wanda moved to the Yakima Valley as a young girl with her family. On February 26, 1957, she married Harry Argetsinger.

Wanda was a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend. She leaves behind a legacy of fierce love, deep devotion, and unwavering strength. A proud matriarch, Wanda raised five daughters who were her pride and joy. Her love only grew as she welcomed grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even great-great-grandchildren — each one treasured and deeply loved.

Wanda had a quiet strength and fierce loyalty. Her home was always filled with the warmth of her cooking, her cherished houseplants, and the steady presence of a woman who would do anything for those she loved. Her love was deep and unconditional. If there is one thing Wanda would want to be remembered for, it’s just that — her boundless love and the family she built with it.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Harry Argetsinger, and two of her daughters, Terri O’Donnell and Brenda Manjares. She is survived by her three daughters: Peggy Ochoa, Debbie Clayton, and Jacqui Peterson; her grandchildren: Michael Clayton, Trina Villa, Nicole Hagner, Marlena Villa, Rachel Peterson, Anna Peterson, and Miguel Manjares; and her great-granddaughter, Allison Wilson.

Wanda is also survived by her siblings: Bill Roberts, Ron Roberts, Betty Perkins, and Jim Roberts, along with many other family members who will miss her deeply.

Wanda’s legacy lives on in the lives she shaped, the family she nurtured, and the hearts she touched. She will be profoundly missed and forever remembered.
