So sorry to hear of Aunt Wilma's passing. I have countless fond memories of her and Uncle Will at the farm. What a wonderful place to be a child with an inquisitive mind. I will forever love the barn that no longer stands. Uncle Will on the tractor or in his chair with a book in his perpetual bibs, Aunt Wilma laying out a bountiful spread of food for every meal. Our country has truly lost one of it's best cooks ever!! Much love & prayers to you all. We will all miss them. Sorry I cannot be there with you but Jill & Morgan will give you all a hug from me.

Will and Wilma were very special friends when Ralph Neff and our 3 children and I lived a short distance from them for 18 months with Grant Hamilton from October,1945 to March, 1947. It would have been very difficult without their help and friendship. Wonderful memories. I also attended H S at Humphreys one year with her, and of course my sister Virginia married her brother, Jack, so we had lots of good times together.
So sorry to hear of her passing, but she led a good life and will be missed by all who knew her.

Dear Glenda, Rex and family,
How we loved Aunt Wilma. What an incredible lady she was and what a joy to visit in her home, to laugh with her, eat her awesome cooking and reminisce about farm days, fish frys, card parties and Aunt Audry's piano playing. Lots of wonderful memories of an amazing and beautiful lady.
Our hearts are with you today, in sorrow and loss but rejoicing that she is dancing with Uncle Will and making brownies in a much better place, free of pain and confusion. We love you guys and you are in our prayers.
Rick and Jan
