Wanda Lee Robins

Wanda Lee Robins, 66, of LaGrange, OH, passed away on February 9, 2024. Wanda was born September 27, 1957 to Carlisle Wayne Robins and Bessie "Betsy" Irene Robins (nee Faux) in Johnstown, PA. She graduated from West Technical High School in Cleveland, OH in 1975. After graduation, she married Philip Lawrence Sedlak and had two sons, Scott Paul Sedlak and Joel Michael Sedlak. A devout Jehovah's Witness, she dedicated her life to Jehovah, symbolized by baptism, on January 29, 1983. Her career with Progressive Insurance as a Customer Service Specialist ended after many years with her retirement in March of 2023.

Wanda's time was often spent studying the Bible, by herself and with others in her congregation in Wellington, OH, and engaging in preaching work, especially writing letters. She loved plants, birds, nature, cooking and entertaining, all things French (in homage of her heritage), music, poetry and classic movies. Her favorite color was blue, demonstrated in many of her personal belongings being royal blue.

The most important aspect of Wanda Robins was her kindness, selflessness and compassion for others. She often made meals for those in need among her congregation, family and friends. She often reached out to those that needed encouragement through cards, letters or phone calls and would often ask if she could do anything to help. She was fiercely proud of her two sons, and constantly put forth her best effort to be a kind and generous person.

Wanda was preceded in death by her parents, Wayne and Betsy; her sister, Karen June Arnouti; and her nephew, Brian James Novak. She is survived by her sons, Scott and Joel; her sisters, RoseAnn Novak (Jim) and Sandy Zerucha (John); her brothers, Duane (Nidia), Ron (Christy), Don (Ruthann) and Randy (Noreen); many nieces, nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews; aunts, Margie and Linda (Bob); and Uncle, Bob; and many more cherished family members, co-workers and friends.
