Wanda Mae White-Dunn Trottier, 58, of St. Michael, ND, peacefully reached the end of a very courageous battle on Saturday, Nov. 16, 2024. She was circled and blessed with love from her family and staff of Essentia Health, Fargo, ND.
Wanda was born May 26, 1966, at Mercy Hospital, Devils Lake. Growing up in North Dakota she attended Devils Lake Public Schools, also attended the new Four Winds School, being the first class to graduate in 1984. She continued her education at Little Hoop Community College earning her CDA and became a head start teacher. Wanda attended Bismarck State before returning home to be closer to family. After moving home she worked at Four Winds School in the business office. Before retiring in 2018 Wanda was the HR director for the Spirit Lake Tribe.
Wanda favorite time was spent being at home with the loves of her life. Her husband of 30 years married, 35 together, her children, parents, grand-children and dogs. She loved to hear her mama’s voice whom she spoke to every night. Wanda’s love for everyone was so evident. She had the strongest most loving heart. Always so generous to everyone and making sure their stomachs were always full. She loved to laugh and had a smile for everyone who needed one.
Wanda will be missed by so many relatives and friends. She has so many, we couldn’t even try to begin to list them all.
