Wilma L. Root

I provided some thoughts in the original notice.... Wilma was a great lady as was the rest of the family.... my mother and Wilma's canned veggies together and my dad gave veggies to the Metz family.... I would love to see any of them eye ball to eye ball right this minute... I live in Fort Collins... a retired Horticulture prof from CSU ! ! !

The Metz family lived across the alley from the Goldsberry family in Colorado Springs in the mid 1940's ....if I had not left Colo Springs for college I probably would have married Berna Dean or Wilma.... Their brother Earl Jr was a close friend as were the whole family.... SURE MISS SEEING THEM, even today ! ! ! Ken Goldsberry, Ft Collins, CO 15 Nov 2022

For all of you who knew and loved Wilma imagine this. Sitting with only Wilma in the downstairs theatre room at the Root's beautiful home in Dunthorpe while incumbent President Obama and candidate Mitt Romney duked it out during a debate.

Neither Wilma or I kept our thoughts to ourselves. Wilma's opinions were so well crafted, deeply believed, and delivered with gusto, confidence, and a sharp edge. Being like-minded we had a great time together that night.

Thank you for...

Wilma touched so many lives. She was an inspiration to all who met her.
