Born in Cleveland on April 15, 1927, Wilma was a proud graduate of Collinwood High School, Class of 1945. She went on to enjoy a long and dedicated career as an administrative assistant with Kodak, where her work ethic and friendly nature was deeply valued.

Wilma embraced life with warmth and humor. She found immense pleasure in gardening, traveling on bus trips, and playing the accordion. A vibrant lover of music, her home was often filled with the lively sounds of polka and the timeless songs of her favorite pop crooners, Englebert Humperdinck and Al Martino.

Social, outgoing, and quick with a smile, Wilma was known for her quick wit and welcoming spirit. Above all, she was devoted to her family and her faith. She will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
