Wanda Gene (McClure) Collinsworth, 99, of Fort Wayne, passed away on Friday, December 19, 2025. She was born to the late Milton Albert and Loma (Bushong) McClure in Britton, MI on June 9, 1926. She graduated from Columbus Grove High School and Tiffin University Class of 1945. She worked for many years as an Executive Secretary at Kroger, retiring in 1986. Wanda was a passionate reader, a dedicated yoga enthusiast, and a devoted follower of Deepak Chopra’s teachings. With a positive outlook on life, she remained young at heart, always embracing the belief that 'age is just a number.'
