Wanda Rice
November 7, 1957 — March 2, 2016
Mrs. Wanda D. “Speedy” Rice was a 1975 graduate of Parker High School and attended North Greenville College. She was formerly employed with the Greenville Health System for sixteen years. She was a member of the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church.
She will always be remembered as a loving daughter, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren on a daily basis. She loved to watch her favorite TV shows: Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful, Wheel of Fortune, Walker, Texas Ranger and Blue Bloods. She loved to eat and was definitely open to trying new foods.
“Speedy” spent most of her days at the Greenville Dialysis Clinic three times a week, although it wasn’t her favorite place to be, she enjoyed her caregivers and other patients she met throughout the years. She especially enjoyed the personal attention she received from her grandchildren after her visits to the clinic. Till her last day, she was the same “Speedy” who was the bossiest, sassiest, yet sweetest person you’d ever want to know.
She was preceded in death by her father, William Martin Parrott, Sr. and lil sister, Lavonda “Neen” Archie.
