Wonderful woman and a beautiful person. We will miss Aunt Wilma, she had a unique way of saying it like it is and to accept things that you can not change unless you put the effort in changing them. We will miss her dearly, wish we would of had more time with her. Will never forget her calling me Pamela Ann because she said it sounded better than Pamela Sue , which I agreed. Rest in piece Aunt WIlma, love you always.

Always enjoyed her visits and hated when she would leave. Absolutely the best Mother-in-Law in the world. I have a lot of wonderful memories, working with her and Ray in the garden in Waynesburg, making craft items that she would give at Christmas, selling green beans at the roadside stand, she made the most wonderful home canned green beans. I remember her and my mother making apple sauce over an open fire in a big copper boiler. We had good memories of attending the wood carving rendevous at Yosemite. R. I. P. Wilma I will miss you dearly but, I find comfort in knowing that you are no longer suffering and you are in heaven with our Lord and family members previously passed.
