Wilma was such a loving Christian lady. She and her sisters (The Comer Girls) exemplified Christian love in the best sense. She did many things that were noteworthy, but the thing that I remember being said of her always: “You could eat off her floors!!!” It was an example of caring for her home and her family, and, with the community, that same attention to detail.
Praying for the family for comfort in this difficult time!!!

Such an integral part of my memories and time in Fulton. Wilma was always a delight to see, perfectly put together and full of news. An amazing partner with Jack in all their endeavours - business, church and pleasure. I will miss her twinkling eyes, and beautiful smile.
My deepest condolences to the extended Creely family. Reunited with Jack and her sisters.

May God comfort you in the loss of Wilma Jean. I grew up on the same street as the Comer girls and our mothers were good friends. We all attended church together. When I taught at IAHS, Wilma Jean was in my English class as a junior. I have fond memories of her, Tarleen and Christine.

I can not express how much joy this sweet lady brought me daily. Her witty sense of humor had me in stitches most of the time. My favorite memory was playing Chinese Checkers with her, she was so much fun! I will miss her and I'm sending prayers to all that she touched. She is already missed. Thank you to the family for sharing her with us at Lakeview Place and giving is the honor of caring for her. I love you Ms. Wilma, thank you for being my friend...Shelley
