Wilda Sanderson was born August 14, 1955 in Lethbridge, Alberta to James and Ann Beers. She grew up on the family farm in Southern Alberta. She moved to Lethbridge in the early 1980s and began to work at Aslan Day Care, where she remained until her passing. She loved working, teaching and playing with the children, and she was considered by the Howell’s as family. In 1986, she met her future husband, Richard Sanderson and they got married in July 1988.
They welcomed their only daughter Melanie in December 1991. She loved and cherished spending time with her husband and daughter. As a family, there were many summer vacations, with her favourite destinations being Seattle, Washington and Cypress Hills Provincial Park, Saskatchewan.
