Wilma Gunn Obituary
Wilma Geraldine Gunn (nee Thomas) was called home on Tuesday, July 12, 2022, with her loving family by her side. She was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba March 15, 1932 to Beatrice and Ruben Thomas.
Wilma leaves behind her daughter Geraldine Nazvesky (Albert), son Tedd Gunn (Janet), granddaughters Catherine Roy (Denis), Malinda Nazvesky, grandson Nicholas Nazvesky (Shannon) and great-grandchildren Nathan and
Grace Roy, Ellie and Marlee Nazvesky and grand fur babies Leo and Yuuki.
Wilma also leaves behind sister in-laws Irene and Vera Thomas, and many nieces and nephews. Wilma was predeceased by her husband Jim of 59 years, her mother and father, brothers Earl, Lorne, Ted, sisters Ann, Mable and Monda.
At a young age, Wilma moved to the small town of Nakina, Ontario where she found work at the train station and met the love of her life. Wilma was very involved in many different churches throughout the years. Her family was very important to her and she travelled long and far to visit
with them.
Wilma loved gardening, knitting, making her beach babies, Christmas ornaments as well as scrapbooking with ladies. She enjoyed the great outdoors where she and Jim and their family spent many wonderful hours fishing, picking blueberries and sitting by campfires at Beetleman Bay.
Wilma moved back to Thunder Bay to be closer to her daughter and grandchildren. They all enjoyed many occasions together.
Mom loved and enjoyed all the company she received. She would help and support anyone at any time.

Nazvesky Family, so so saddened to hear about Wilma. I will remember her as someone to be admired because of her strong confident love of life! My deepest sympathy to all the family. Rest in peace Wilma.

So sorry to hear of Wilma passing. We spent many summers camping with them at Beetleman Bay, with the Robinson's, Lahaie's and Dupes. She showed Paul how to fillet walleye...you would never find a bone in her fillets..she was a great fisher-woman. Wilma always had a smile and her laugh was contagious. Am so happy we knew both of them and am thankful for all the beautiful memories. Wilma helped me deal with the loss of my Aunt one summer while camping. She knew what to say. Jim and Wilma were such good people. She was called home after 90 years. Till we meet again.
