Before that, she worked for Southwestern Bell Telephone Company as an operator where she moved telephone wires from place to place for people to communicate.

Wynell was a feisty, independent woman who was memorable to everyone she met. I mean literally no one who met her forgot her. She was a fun spirited person who loved reading, playing solitaire, and doing puzzles.
