Those who knew Wilma knew she enjoyed traveling, cooking, cleaning, reading and taking care of her family. Her love ran deep for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was one of the most accommodating people you'd ever want to meet who would do anything for her family. She was known as an avid collector of figurines and dolls. She loved puzzles, board games, scrabble and kept boxes of hundreds of family photos. Wilma loved and cherished her family! She was a very wise and smart, with a huge heart!
