In her spare time she enjoyed working in her yard, making flower arrangements, collecting angels, and loved to honor the Lord by decorating her home with inspirational quotes and scriptures. She also enjoyed going on drives through the country, Sunday picnics, and family bbqs. She loved to tell stories of the times she traveled, she always prayed when there was a need, and loved to give praise for so many answered prayers. She was funny and thoughtful and had a smile that could light up a room.
Above all she loved her family and helped them any way she could. Wilma was much loved and will be greatly missed. Heaven has gained another angel.
