Wanda Cypert has died at 93

Wanda Cypert, a long (long!)-time Frost Valley staff person, and long-time neighbor, has died. Her husband Paul was our maintenance director in the early 1960s, and their daughter Sue spent several years living at FV and working as a year-long Environmental Education instructor (she is now a college administrator in upstate New York). Wanda retired some years ago and lived just down the road from FV.

Glenn Horton writes: "I have some sad news. Wanda Cypert passed away this past weekend (March 10th) at the age of 93. For those that did not know Wanda, she was a true fixture of Frost Valley with a smile and attitude that warmed hearts with every encounter. Wanda filled in where ever necessary. Between houskeeping, laundry in the summer, and/or food service, she was one of those people that found Frost Valley to be home and the staff as her family. I'm not sure how long she spent working at the Valley, but the Cypert name has roots there as far back as the 60's. I for one will miss her smile."
