She was born in Stroudsburg, Pa., on Feb. 25, 1933, and later moved with her family to Newton, N.J., where she worked at S & M Bank in Newton, married and enjoyed traveling with her husband.

She was predeceased by her parents, Harold and Charlotte Fehr, of Newton, N.J., and brother, William Fehr and wife, Ann Fehr, of Newton, N.J. She is survived by her devoted husband of 56 years, Robert A. Wilgus, of Payson, Ariz.; sister-in law, Shirley Wilgus Lawson and husband, Rex, of Branchville, N.J.; sister-in-law, Barbara Wilgus Salbego and husband, Robert, of Lydonville, Vt.

Also many grand nieces and nephews who thought she was awesome. She will be greatly missed.
