Wanda Varnado Haire

The funeral service for Wanda Varnado Haire will be 1 p.m., Monday, July 31 at Union Church Baptist Church with burial at Union Church Cemetery.

Mrs. Haire, 63, of Union Church, died July 28, 2023, at her home in Union Church. She was born in Hazlehurst, MS February 15, 1960, to David Ray Varnado, Jr. and Bertha Lenore Greer Varnado. She was a retired store manager and bookkeeper, working at Varnado’s Grocery from 1977-2004.

Wanda loved to travel and started several collections from those travels. Coca Cola memorabilia, Christmas ornaments, and an assortment of dishes. Years ago, she enjoyed helping with her daughter’s impressive Beanie Babies collection and more recently her granddaughter’s whimsical Christmas houses collection. Photography was an important hobby for Wanda. She thoroughly enjoyed taking pictures of family and friends and sharing them with everyone. But above and beyond her hobbies was her wholehearted love for her children and grandchildren as well as her love and concern for helping others with their needs. She will be greatly missed by all those lives she touched.

She is preceded in death by her father, David Ray Varnado, Jr.; brothers-in-law, Truett Haire and Steve Diefenbach; and sister-in-law, Lisa Haire.

Those left to cherish her memory are her husband of 46 years, Timothy Franklin Haire; her mother Bertha Varnado; children, Daniel Timothy Haire (Kristen) and Darla Danielle Haire; sisters, Marcia Raye Varnado Smith (Scott) and Janet Kaye Varnado Smith (Farran); four grandchildren, Charlee Elaine Haire, Tucker Daniel Haire, John Rayford Haire, Eden Lenore Haire. She is also survived by sisters-in-law, Jamie Haire, Nan Haire Maxwell (Bari), Cela Haire Diefenbach, and Nola Haire Curtis (Mark); brother-in-law, Alan Haire; numerous nieces and nephews she loved dearly as well as other loving family members and friends.

In lieu of flowers you may send memorials to Blair E. Batson Hospital  2500 N State Street, Jackson, MS 39216.

A meal will be provided after graveside service at the church.

    Darla,
    I am so sorry to hear this. Your mother was precious! The day she withdrew Eden from FPK, we both cried. So thankful that she has been healed and is sitting at the feet of Jesus.
    Love,
