I only recall meeting Wilda a few times at the Niagara OGS meetings but the first time that I met her, she left a lasting impression with her friendliness and outgoing personality. I don´t know how we got on the topic of the Pt Abino Lighthouse but she told me that it was painted on her garage door and gave me her address to go and see it which I did. And was very impressed. I really had to put my thinking cap on to put the pieces together but found that I had written about the photo in my lighthouse photos file and thank goodness had included Wilda´s name. The world has lost a very special person indeed. I am sorry for your loss.

Wilda brought happiness to all the people she came in contact with. Although she repeated the many jokes she told, they always brought a smile to those she told them to. She loved working in the garden area and it always made the building area look nice and clean. She was always on the go and never rested it seemed, just like the Ever-Ready Bunny.. The world has lost a wonderful lady... Our loss is Heaven´s gain. She will be missed by all of us. God Bless her soul...
