In loving memory of Martha (Wanda) Elwanda Reding:

Wanda went to be with her Lord and Savior April, 26, 2023, just two days shy of her 91 ^st birthday. Born April 28 , 1932 in Sallisaw, Oklahoma, she was one of nine children born to Ernest O. Kelton and Sudie Chapman Kelton. She was raised on the family farm in Maple, OK and at a young age professed her faith in Christ at New Hope Missionary Baptist. Martha graduated from Central High School in Sallisaw, OK.

After graduating High School in 1950, Wanda relocated to Tulsa, OK to work for Sinclair Oil Company, where she met, fell in love and married Clifton Perryman Reding. Martha and Clifton were married for 49 years, until the time of Clifton's death in 2000. They had three children; Philip Dwight, Elaine Ann and Gerald Ray.

Throughout her life, Wanda served as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and dedicated member of First Baptist Church Houston and Spring Baptist Church. Outside the home she enjoyed many years working at Sinclair Oil, Ocean Resources Engineering, and H.O. Mohr & Associates. After retiring, she spent many years volunteering in the Memorial Hermann Woodlands gift shop.

Wanda loved her family, and was always ready to gather together with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren for any occasion. If you said, let's go, Wanda was always ready to join you whether on a shopping expedition or a dinner outing. For her, it wasn't about where, it was about spending time together. Wanda was also a loyal friend to many and was truly interested and cared about what was happening in their lives.

Wanda was preceded in death by her husband, Clifton and her parents, Ernest and Sudie Kelton; brothers Herman Kelton, Fred Kelton, Wayne Kelton; sisters, Lola Dean Kelton, Ruth Ladd, Vedith Clift, Marie Birkes and Willene Schierloh.

She is survived by her children, Philip Reding and wife Debra, Elaine Reding Morgan, and Jerry Reding and wife Missy; grandchildren; Matthew P. Reding and wife Theresa, Sarah R. Mitchell and husband Jeffrey, Lane Morgan, Kelsey M. Finn and husband Tom, Megan Reding, and Taylor Reding; and great-grandchildren, Scarlett Reding, Maggie Reding, Katelin Reding, Caleb Mitchell, Joshua Mitchell and Sage Finn.
