Wanda Fay Green

Wanda Fay Green, age 79, left this earth on May 7, 2026, to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, after courageously fighting through a difficult year of illness. She held tightly to her family, her friends, and her faith until the very end.

Wanda retired from Columbus State Community College, where she was loved by many. She welcomed everyone with kindness, never judged, and lived as a true example of Christian love. She was a loyal friend to anyone who needed one, and the most loving, forgiving mother and grandmother. Her daughters and grandchildren were the joy of her life, and she would have done anything for them.

A devoted child of God, Wanda’s faith was her foundation. Today she is rejoicing in Heaven dancing again on those streets of gold-and reunited with the family and friends who awaited her with open arms.

Wanda found joy in the simple things: spending time with family, shopping, listening to Kenny Rogers, singing karaoke, and dancing. She was truly one of a kind, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who knew and loved her.

Wanda was preceded in death by her parents, Naomi (Kenneth) Pebley; her birth father, Ben Austin; her sister-in-law, Barbara Austin, and her former husband and father of her children, Gilbert Green.

She is survived by her daughters, Gina Green and Georgia Bindas, and her son-in-law John Bindas, whom she loved as her own. She was affectionately known as Noni and will be missed dearly by her precious grandchildren: Daisy, John, Joseph, and Alexis Bindas (Brian), and her babies Sadie and Leo.

Wanda leaves behind countless friends and relatives from her hometown of Rocky Top (Lake City), Tennessee, including her sister Fannie Jane (George) Horton, and her brothers Ben Estes (Karen), B.A. Austin. She also leaves many nieces and nephews across Tennessee, Alabama, and Wisconsin.

In recent years, Wanda made many new friends in Columbus and later in Arlington, Ohio, at The Manor and The Heritage in Findlay. She cherished her many best friends, each of whom will miss her deeply.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate caregivers at The Heritage, with special recognition to Deisha, Birchaven, and Bridge Hospice for their loving care during the last months of her life.

HUFFORD FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, 1500 Manor Hill Rd., Findlay, (419-422-1500) is honored to serve Wanda’s family.
