My thoughts are with Wilma’s family at this time knowing they will have golden memories to bring them comfort and healing. She was such a wonderful person with a great memory for past history that she shared with me. I treasure the time we spent together at home, beauty shop,Steak and Shake and the drives when she educated me on Greenview and the local area. I will always remember her with love and know she is with Bill ,Donald, Greg and her parents in heaven. .

My sympathy to Wilma’s family. I enjoyed visiting with her and sharing some good conversations. She reminded me so much of my grandmother Sylvia Hayden. May she rest in peace..
