She grew up in the Canyon/Amarillo area with 6 brothers and 4 sisters. She was a graduate of Canyon High School and attended both West Texas State University and Cal State, Fullerton.

Wanda moved to California in the early 1960s and worked for TWA as a reservations/ticket agent.  She married Jim Clubb and they began their family.  She became a stay at home mom giving her love and care to her son, Carey. After her divorce from her first husband, Wanda reconnected with Buford Clemmer, a college friend, who she married on August 23, 1974 and together they blended their families and raised 3 children. Her children say of her “an absolutely incredible mother she was and is.”

Once the children were older, Wanda earned her teaching credentials and began substitute teaching in the Pomona School District in CA.  In early 2000s, Wanda and her husband, Buford Clemmer, moved back to Amarillo where many of their family members lived.
