“I left a message on behalf of my father as well. My greatest sympathy to Bill. I will never forget Wilma and Bill visiting my grandmother's house for coffee or pasta. Also riding in their convertible in the Blueberry Festival parade as a young girl pulling my grandmother in a giant bowl of pasta. Wilma and Bill always treated my siblings and I so kindly giving us gifts at holidays. Wilma will be greatlt missed by those who knew her she truly touched many people's lives. 😔”

“My condolences to Bill, Terry, Trent and Tammy and other family and friends. Wilma was such a close and dear friend of my mother who passed in 2010. She would quite offen visit after visiting the post office next door to my mom's house. This delighted my mother and brought her much joy as they shared local gossip over coffee and cake. My mother was a member of the Red Hat Society along with Wilma and they much enjoyed outings and eating out together. I will never forget her kindness. - anthony kerzich”
