She grew up and dated her then husband David Anthony Robinson at the age of 12 years old and they decided to make it official at the age of 18 and David 19. David was then sent to basic training, so Wanda lived with her new mother in-law Birtha Robinson for the year while David completed his basic training. After, David Returned to Chicago to be with his new wife where they lived for two years before the couple welcomed their first child Trivion Nicole Robinson. David then received his Permanent Change of Station (PCS) to Bavaria, Germany Duty Station. The couple had orders to Germany where they lived for three years.

The two lived in Chicago for a total of six years, before David was PCS again to the state of Phoenix Arizona, Fort Huachuca. The family of four were stationed in Phoenix, Arizona on the Fort Huachuca base for three years, before David orders were changed to return to Bavaria, Germany. However, at the last minute his PCS was then changed for him to be reported to the Fort Lewis base in the State of Washington. The family of four decided the State of Washington would be their permanent home that they would build their lives together. First Sergeant First Class David Anthony and Wanda Joyce Robinson decided to retire from the Military after serving Active Duty for a total of twenty-two years.  However, three years later the couple were able to welcome their last and only boy David Anthony Robinson Jr.
