Wanda Keatts Jones Memorial
Wanda was one of my preceptors and mentors at Danville Regional Medical Center when I began working in Critical Care in 1993. She was an excellent nurse with much compassion for her patients and all of those around her.
She was one of the first nurses at DRMC to receive the CCRN Certification and also helped me when I was preparing to take the exam.
Wanda was also a good friend of mine and I am thankful to have known such a special person. Her memory will be cherished and she will always hold a special place in my heart.
My deepest sympathy goes to Nicholas. Such a shame for one to lose their mother so early in life. Keep her in your heart Nicholas, for there she will never die.
I also send my condolences to all of her family and friends. We are all so blessed to have known such a wonderful person.
Rest in Peace, Wanda
Love, Steve
