Wilma Seldomridge Wilson

Wilma Aileen Seldomridge Wilson, born June 15, 1933, in Pickaway, West Virginia, daughter of Una Jenkins Seldomridge and William Robert Seldomridge, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on February 15th, at age 90. She is preceded in death by her second husband, Calvin Richard Wilson (d. 2015) and first husband, James Alexander Gibson (d. 1976). She is survived by her children Kevin Alexander Gibson (Catherine Gibson), James Steven Gibson (Nancy Peake), Cheryl Ann Martelli, Shawn Lee Mach (Joseph Mach) and Richard Allan Wilson (Teri Wilson). Grandchildren are Justin Alexander Gibson, Jennifer Nicole Condon (Francis Condon), Bethany Michelle Limmer (Jeremy Limmer), Bryson David Martelli (Jessica Hannold), Alexandra Morgan Martelli (Zach Rader), and Richard Allan Wilson, Jr. (Crystal Wilson).

After graduation from Greenbriar High School in Lewisburg, W.Va., she and 4 of her best friends accepted jobs at the FBI and moved to Washington D.C. A devoted wife and family matriarch, with a lifelong religious conviction, her strength was fueled by family, friends, and faith. Her love, kindness, and generosity were captured in personalized designs she crafted into beautiful quilts for her loved ones and community outreach volunteer work. She retired, after 30 years from Duron Paints & Wallcoverings, and moved to The Villages retirement community, in Lady Lake, Florida, where she was an active member of St. George’s Episcopal Church. Her departure leaves a void in all the hearts of those she touched.

On Tuesday, February 20th, the Witzke Funeral Homes, Inc, in Columbia, MD will hold the viewing at 10:00am followed by the memorial service at 11:00am.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations in memorial to Cornerstonehospice.org.
