Wanda was born May 25, 1927, at Burkburnett, Texas, to John Lewis and Beulah Belle Bryant. At the age of 9 she moved with her family to Missouri where she attended school, graduating valedictorian. She married Milton Lee Archer Sept.1, 1946, and moved to Nampa, where they have resided for 58 years.
She was active in her church, being camp cook for over 20 years, helping with youth groups and missionary work. Wanda and Lee had been longtime members of the Caldwell First Baptist Church, and recently the Middleton First Baptist Church. She had a love for quilts, spending many hours quilting with her friend Erma and other friends in the Syringa Quilting Club.
Wanda is survived by her husband, Lee; daughters, Cathy Archer, Anita (Vic) Sims, and Lois (Darel) Holcomb; her grandchildren, Spencer (Diana), Patresha, Mykel, Matthew, Adriene, Kim (Scott), and Hailey; her great-grandchildren, Keisha, Andy, Torie, Mackenzie, Rebekah, Benjamin; a brother, Royce (Janette) Bryant; two sisters-in-laws, Helen Bryant and Mildred Bryant; and numerous nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank the staff at Trinty Health & Rehab of Holly, especially Jolliness Crosby, Clarrisa and Bud.
The family suggests that memorials be made to the Middleton Baptist Church, or the Boise Rescue Mission.
