Wilma Schaardt Obituary
She was born on June 20, 1929 in Long Island, NY. She was the daughter of the late William Henry and Elsie Salmon Schaardt. Wilma was the last surviving member of her immediate family. She was preceded in death by her twin sisters, Marian Knabbe and Kathryn Reynolds and her brothers, August, Eugene and William Schaardt. The siblings all remained very close even though they were spread all across the country.
Wilma retired as a Charge Nurse at Grace Cottage Hospital in Vermont where she dedicated her life to nursing. She was a faithful and active member of Newfane Congregational Church and was an avid outdoor enthusiast her entire life. To know Wilma was to love her.
She is survived by her lifelong devoted friend, Pat McIntyre, three nieces, a nephew and a number of great nieces and nephews.
A private burial will be held at Greenfield Cemetery in Uniondale, NY at a later date.
Pat, Mary Jane and Jeanie wish to extend their thanks to Bridgewater Retirement Community, especially the Gardner Wing and Unity House.
Online condolences may be sent to the family at johnsonfs.com.
Arrangements are entrusted to Johnson Funeral and Cremation Service in Bridgewater.

Such a beautiful person. Wilma was our neighbor for years. We would always see her walking, and often stop for conversations. She was dedicated to her community through her work at the hospital, where she worked with my grandmother Mary Eckert. RIP
Wilma.
