WANDA LOUISE MUSSER CHAFFINS, 75, of Ceredo, West Virginia, wife of Jerry Edward Chaffins, passed away Saturday, December 17, 2016, at Cabell-Huntington Hospital. She was born in Kenova, West Virginia on June 28, 1941, a daughter of the late Bennie and Opal Musser of Kenova, West Virginia. Wanda was also preceded in death by a son, John David Chaffins. She is survived by her beloved husband of nearly 53 years, Jerry Edward Chaffins; two sons and their wives, Jeffrey Edward and Rebecca Sue Chaffins of Huntington, WV and Mark Andrew and Angela Sue Chaffins of Huntington, WV; four grandchildren, Kristen Avanelle and Abigail Kay Chaffins and Shaun Michael and Miranda Alexis Chaffins, all of Huntington, WV; and three sisters, Katherine Bowen, Priscilla McGlone, and Eletha Farley, all of Kenova, WV; many nieces and nephews; and many dear friends. Wanda graduated from Ceredo-Kenova High School in 1959 and attended classes at the Huntington Business College. She was employed by the Kenova Bank for fifteen years, as a Proof Operator, and by H&R Block for nearly fifteen years, as a tax preparer. Wanda was a member of the Kenova Order of the Eastern Star, Kentucky Colonels, the Almost Heaven Good Sam Traveling Club, and the Arky Stars Square Dancing Club. However, her greatest joy and love in life were her family and her service and dedication to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Wanda was a 66 year member of Kenova United Methodist Church, where she served as a Sunday School Teacher for 5-6 year old children for 42 years and Chairperson of the Worship Committee. She loved spending time and traveling with her husband, best friend, and soulmate, Jerry. Her favorite destinations were Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. She spent time floral arranging and wreath-making. Wanda dearly loved and spent time preparing Sunday School lessons and crafts for “her children.” Visitation will be at Kenova United Methodist Church on Wednesday, December 21, 2016, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, with funeral services at 1:00 pm officiated by the Rev.
