Wilma will be greatly missed by many.
She worked with my husband and I at Green Giant/Pillsbury in Lafayette before they closed the facility. She loved to sew and made my wedding dress.
Wilma had a great personality and was always laughing.
Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this difficult time.
