Wilma Page

We will remember our dear friend Wilma.

I shall miss my friend so much. We worked together at MCL. I retired at 23 years, in 2006. The friendship continued with retiree's potlucks, many book titles exchanged, soup recipes, and family news shared. I'm so glad she was in my life. Our Wilma was wonderful and now I am sad. I'll always remember.

What I loved about Wilma was her willingness to help others and her objectivity driven directness. She would go out of her way to find me books that were hard to find. She got caught up in my desire to find a form of " kuchen " that I had as a kid. Wilma listened , researched and made us a potica pastry that exceeded my memory of a childhood fantasy. The other truly Wilma story was at the cabin with Tom , Lee , John Hartman ( three PHDs ) and myself. We were trying to redesign the cabin...

Dear Stephanie, Alan and family, We were so saddened to hear of your mother's passing. I have so many memories of times with both of your parents. Our times at the cabin were always so much fun. I remember once Wilma, Sherry and I made the Roman shades that still cover the main floor windows, it was quite a production. I also often sought her advice with my pitiful knitting projects. Her creations were works of art. She also shared her great knowledge of just the sort of book I would...

Tom, Alan and family, I'm sad to hear of Wilma's passing. I just saw her photo at the Neurological Resource Center last week and remembered seeing her there volunteering, as well as getting to see her often at the library. She was always a pleasure to talk with. My thoughts are with you all.

I worked with Wilma at the Mid-Columbia Library in Kennewick many years ago. She was not only a kind and generous person, but also an amazing wealth of knowledge. She was a wonderful person who inspired many. The world is a better place for having had her in it.

Dear Tom and family, we are very sorry to hear about Wilma.
