Meet Wanda Mantonya, Resident of the Month
Wanda Mantonya was born Feb. 20, 1933, to
Wallas and Else Calbert in Boone County, Missouri.
Wallas worked hard to support the family, while
Elsie stayed home to raise Wanda and her 13 sib-
lings.
Wanda grew up in Boone County, Missouri,
where she went to school at Conley, a one room
schoolhouse with dirt floors. During this time she
spent time with her dogs, cats, and horses that she
rode to and from school. After school, Wanda
moved to Omaha Nebraska where she would later
meet her future husband.
In Nebraska, Wanda would go to dances at the
military base with her girlfriends to meet
people and enjoy their free time. At one of the
dances, Wanda met James “Jim” Mantonya and
the couple were eventually married in Columbia,
Missouri, in 1953. Jim worked for the Army and
Airforce as an engineer. The couple were married
for 50 years. Together they had four daughters;
Marcy, Pam, Shelley, and Tonya as well as eight grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren, and
one great-great grandchild!
During their marriage the couple traveled all over the United States working. They eventu-
ally made it to Las Alamos, New Mexico, where they worked in a lab. In this lab, Wanda was
able to work on the circuit boards on the nose cone for the shuttle that went to the moon! No
matter where they lived, Wanda loved the community and culture each area brought to her
life.
Growing up, Wanda spent her time with family, working, and enjoying the outdoors. As
an adult her favorite activities were playing cards, collecting over 100 porcelain dolls, and
spending time with her animals on the farm. She had cattle, hogs, ducks, geese, chickens
and her favorite, the goats. She spent so much time with them that each goat had a name
and it would come when she called. When she wasn’t working on the farm, she also enjoyed
deer and mushroom hunting.
Wanda came to Parkview in October 2018. When asked her favorite part of living
here Wanda said “the food, getting to rest, and still getting to spend time with family.”
Congratulations, Wanda, on being chosen as the Parkview Health Care Facility’s
Resident of the Month!
