It is with deep sadness we announce the unexpected passing of Wanda Costa on December 14, 2018 at the age of 67.
Wanda was born in Quesnel, BC, then lived for a time in Princeton, BC before relocating to the Shuswap with her late husband Frank, where they owned and operated the Balmoral Store for many years.
She is survived by her loving children; Michelle, Michael, Reanna, David and Brenna as well as 13 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. Wanda loved to spend time with her family, quilt, dance, travel and ride her Harley. She will be deeply missed by her friends, family and community.

I am so saddened by the passing of Wanda. I grew up beside the wonderful Perry family in Kamloops BC and Wanda, Lonnie, Cheryl were such good friends to me. Wanda was very close to me in those days, like a sister. I recently moved to the Shuswap and was going to try to find her and am very sad I didn’t get to see her again. My deepest sympathy to the Perry family and please contact me if you like! You all meant a lot to me and I never forgot you!
We are so very sorry to learn of Wanda’s passing. Wanda always had a smile and wave as she walked or drove by our house on Eagle Bay Road. And she always said hello to our dog. We knew Wanda as a kind heart, gentle soul, and a good neighbour who was devoted to her family. We extend our deepest sympathy.
