Wilma Diesing Obituary
Wilma R. Diesing, 97, of Chelsea, Michigan, formerly of Scottville passed away on March 24, 2019, at Silver Maples of Chelsea.
She was born Sept. 7, 1921, the daughter of Oliver and Rose (Tritten) Widing. She married Donald C. Diesing who preceded her in death.
She is survived by two sons, David (Jane) Diesing, of Chelsea, and Daryl (Marcia Rimai) Diesing, of Shorewood, Wisconsin; four grandchildren, Jeffrey (Rebecca) Diesing, of Chelsea, James (Mitzi) Diesing, of Chelsea, Jennifer (David) Behm, of Howell, and Rebecca Diesing, of Chicago; four great-grandchildren, Charlotte, Piper, Leighton and Greyson Diesing, also one sister-in-law, Elaine Diesing, of Manistee.

Wilma lived most her life in Scottville, where she worked for many years alongside her husband in their family business, Diesing Realty, and her husband's auction business. She was a longtime member of Redeemer Lutheran Church, where she was an active member of the Women's Guild. She was always happy to help and support charitable and community events and was known for her always positive attitude to others. She moved to Silver Maples in Chelsea in 2009 to be close to her family. While her physical abilities ultimately failed her, she will be remembered for a never failing mind and her interest in others.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, April 8 at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Scottville with Pastor Richard Miller officiating.
