Wilma,You always made us laugh and your smile was contagious! You were the type of person that would make lemons out of lemonade….thank you!

I have known Wilma for many years, but recently connected back with her at the Livonia Senior Citizen’s monthly meetings. She always had a smile on her face and had a wonderful sense of humor. My sympathies go out to your whole family in your loss, which is shared by all who knew this wonderful lady. I’m happy to have been a small part of her life.
Wilma was a great friend of my mom’s (Ellie DeClerck) and did so much for her. I loved Wilma’s sense of humor and how down to earth she was … it was always great to visit with her. She left a wonderful lasting impression on all who were lucky enough to know her. She will be missed by many … God Speed Wilma!

Kids…Your Mom was a gem..We lived three doors down from your family growing up and you let us be part of your family. Your Mom and Dad didn’t bat an eye when we showed up at your house saying “we want to live here-we ‘re running away from home” The whole family was welcoming and just what every neighborhood needs. We will remember your Mom the rest of our lives. We love all you guys.
Tom, Pam, Diane, Danny, Jeff, Nancy, Ronny and all of your Family. We are so deeply sorry for the loss of your Mom. She will be greatly missed by everyone that knew her. I will never forget our Aunt Vilma. Sending much Love and Strength
