Service for Slain French Valley Woman is Sunday

The life of Wanda McGlover, 68, will be celebrated in a service Sunday in Riverside.

A celebration of life is planned Sunday for a Winchester woman who was found brutally attacked Sept. 21 during her daily morning walk near her French Valley home.

The service for Wanda McGlover, 68, will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 14 at Mt. Rubidoux Seventh-day Adventist Church, 5320 Victoria Ave. in Riverside.


"Come and join us as we honor her life, rejoice in her love for God and her family, and embrace her commitment to the church community," her family said in an emailed message.

"Sing unto the Lord with us as we give praise for His precious gift, and marvel at her accomplishments."

McGlover was likely best known for religious garments she distributed through her company, Wanda's Wondrous Works. Those who may have received a Wanda’s Wondrous Works garment were asked asking to wear it for the celebration.

"Cherish our memories with us as we delight in Wanda's Wondrous Works;
the woman, sister, mother, grandmother, aunt, cousin, niece, mentor and friend," the family said.

The family arranged for a large enough venue to accommodate members of the public who may also wish to attend.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Wanda McGlover Scholarship Fund, 37235 High Vista Drive, Murrieta, CA, 92563.

Additionally, as the Riverside County Sheriff's Department Central Homicide Unit continues to investigate her death, the family has set up a website to help with assistance in finding her killer. Donations can be made on the site at Justiceforwandamcglover.com.

This couldn't possibly happen in a worse place, given the proximity to the freeway, high school, andRead More numerous businesses. UGH! The following is the press release from MPD: On 05-21-13, at 3:27 AM, the Murrieta Police Department received a call of a water-main break in the area of California Oaks Road and Monroe Avenue. Murrieta Police and Murrieta Fire Department initially responded to the scene and discovered a large sinkhole in the westbound lanes of California Oaks Road just west of Jackson Avenue. The sinkhole was approximately 4 feet deep and about 20 feet across. The hydraulic pressure from the water-main break appears to have created this sinkhole and damaged all the westbound lanes of California Oaks from approximately Jackson to Monroe. As a result, the westbound lanes of California Oaks between Jackson and Monroe will be closed for repair until further notice. Rancho Water Officials estimate that these repairs will take approximately one week to complete. When traveling in this area please expect delays and plan an alternate route in order to arrive at your destination on time.

Hey Maggie, I don't get a chance to talk to the help desk but the ad has gone away for now. I justRead More made a comment on one of Carl Petersons blogs and now the comment has disappeared and no trace of it in my comment history. Are comments still pending proof reading before they post? Was it taken down by the blog author? I realize you guys have made a lot of changes so I'm still not sure if there are bugs being worked out or if some thing else is going on. Any help would be appreciated.
