We will never ever forget our Wilma. She was such a fun loving precious lady to us all. She fought long and hard trying to remain with her sweet children. God needed her and reached down and pulled her up into her new heavenly paradise. She is pain free and singing with the rest of the angels. Rest in peace my awesome Sister. I’ll always hold a place in my heart for you. Prayers, love and sweet peace and comfort to all of Wilma’s amazing children that she loved so deeply. â¤ï¸ðŸ™ðŸ˜¢

I have a lot of fond memories of my Aunt Wilma & she is going to be missed by so many! Growing up Her, my Aunt Judy & Uncle Herman would sing at church & she had a record produced with Mack Self. I thought she was famous!! And dance…I loved to watch her & Uncle Bobby…he taught all us kids how to Bop! We spent a lot of time together back in them days & our family was so close. We had gatherings for every holiday & a family reunion every Memorial Day and she would always be sure to sing & make us laugh! I could go on & on but I think you get what I’m saying…she was special to us all & we all loved her so much! She may be gone but she will never be forgotten.
