Wilma was an avid gardener and tiny like a fairy. Don't let the size fool you! Big things come in small packages. She was truly a yard sale treasure hunting queen. She loved spending time with her sisters to bake cookies, cakes and getting into shenanigans with them when they would travel. She was an inspiration to the grandkids to hard work, love and be kind. She loved to spend her time with her great-grandkids and she will be missed beyond measure. She loved dogs and if anyone would like to donate to the county animal shelters in her honor it would be appreciated.
