Wanda Ilene McKee

Wanda Ilene McKee passed away peacefully at her home in Shreveport, Louisiana, on October 1, 2026, at the age of 64. A Christian woman with a caring and compassionate heart, Wanda found great joy in her family, especially in the time she spent with her beloved grandchildren. Her love for children extended far beyond her own family, and she devoted many years of her life to nurturing and teaching little ones as a preschool teacher.

Wanda enjoyed listening to all kinds of music and appreciated life’s simple pleasures. Some of her happiest moments were spent fishing or taking peaceful drives through the countryside with her husband, Dennis. Above all, Wanda will be remembered for her love of family, her gentle spirit, and the kindness she so freely shared with the children and people whose lives she touched.

She is survived by her husband, Dennis McKee; children, Brandi Creech (Quinton), Kristin Charles (Tony), Crystal McCarty, Blake McKee and Christopher McCarty; sister, Denise Stroud (Kevin); brothers, Tony Perez, Barry Laffite and Richard Laffite; 11 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.

Wanda was preceded in death by her father, Ralph Laffite; mother, Geneva (Adams) Antee; sister, Kimberly Waterhouse; and brother, Bo Laffite.

A graveside service will be held at Mount Olive East Cemetery near Quitman, on Wednesday, October 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM.

Pallbearers will be Quinton Creech, Trip Creech, Luke Creech, Tony Charles, Ricky McKee and Tim McKee.
