ATLANTA – One of Atlanta’s best-known radio personalities has died.

Wanda Smith was a fixture at V-103 for years, chatting with Atlanta celebrities and hosting fundraisers wherever the need arose.

Atlanta radio legend Frank Ski said Wanda wears multiple hats in the Atlanta community. She was a radio personality, a comedian, a wife and a mother. But perhaps her most notable title was that of “Giver.”

She was often viewed as Frank Ski’s hilarious sidekick and “work wife,” but the 58-year-old comedian developed an identity of her own.

Ski says even he was stunned when he received the news on Saturday, just a day after her birthday.

Frank Ski talks to FOX 5 Atlanta about Wanda Smith’s legacy.

“It hit me pretty hard. I heard she wasn’t feeling well. She was a very reserved person and I never expected that. It was tough,” Ski said.

Frank and Wanda had other jobs. They met with all the celebrities. They traveled the world together – Dubai, South Africa – and spent more time together than apart.

“While we were on the air. It was almost like a husband and wife thing,” Ski explained. “She cared so much about me. Our families were so close. That way we knew everything about each other. We just lived in two different houses.”

Frank and Wanda in the morning

Smith was part of the award-winning “Frank and Wanda” show on popular radio station V-103 for more than a decade, but he says she will be remembered most for her big heart.

“She will go down in Atlanta history as one of the greatest donors the city has ever seen. I don’t know of any other woman other than Elisabeth Omalami who has donated more than Wanda. “She was really invested in the situation and knew what they really needed, and sometimes it wasn’t the money,” Ski said.

Wanda Smith’s cause of death

Ski did not comment on Smith’s cause of death. He said she wanted to keep it a secret.

“She was so private that me, Rickey Smiley and others wanted to do a fundraiser for her and she canceled it. She didn’t let us do that. She didn’t want people to know,” Ski replied.

Smith, a Miami native, was still living in Atlanta. She is survived by her husband, LaMorris Sellers, her sons and her grandchildren.
