Wanda Portier

Wanda Ann Spongia Portier, age 56, of Gretna, LA and long-time resident of Slidell, LA, entered into her eternal resting place on July 13, 2021.  She is the wife of Raymond Portier, Jr. and the mother of Johnathan Portier (Deanna).  She is preceded in death by her father Louis Spongia, mother Corinne Boe Spongia, and brother Kenneth Spongia. She is survived by her sisters, Patty Loup (Chuckey), Liz LeBlanc (Craig), and Cathy Dore’ (Greg), and nephews Steven, Matthew, Peter, Dalton, Peyton, and nieces Alina, Sara, Bailey, Cassidy, and Emma. Special thanks goes to all who sent prayers and for her loving Hospice Family.  Many thanks to her dear friend Christine Trosclair for always being by her side. Wanda loved BIG and never met a stranger.  Her passion was teddy bears and needle stitching and generously shared her craft with everyone she came into contact with. Wanda was the most positive and spiritual person you could know despite her long history of illness.  Everyone will miss her daily uplifting loving texts.  She will be missed by her sweet companion fur baby, Maddy, who she adored so much.
