When Wilma Weimer died the world lost one of its most beautiful people. Loving, kind, generous, tactful, humble, thoughtful, and helpful to others all describe her. Well traveled and well read, she was an elegant and warm hostess who prepared exceptionally delicious meals presented with charm and grace. Her delightful sense of humor added a glow to the company she was with. Wilma had the gift of a sharp mind. She loved to talk politics and did so with insights and well reasoned opinions. We knew Wilma for over 40 years. She was like a member of the family, spending many holiday with us. She served as a surrogat aunt to our children. We will miss Wilma. We will miss her goodness and all the wonderful things about her.

I am so sorry to hear of Wilma's passing.
She was a dear, dear friend of my Father, Jim Reser, who passed away in 2006. I visited her several times at Dowling Park, and several years ago took Micki to see her. she was a good friend to me and my Dad, a wonderful lady, and I will miss her terribly. You are all in my prayers. I would like to come to the burial if it would be ok. I live in Gnv. now. 352-505-0714
