Survivors include her sons Michael, Marc and his wife Deby and Rick.

She maintained a hard-working, driven, can-do attitude toward life. Wilma was also highly creative and developed a wide variety of talents, especially as a self taught seamstress. She was very loving, caring and nurturing; taking care of others brought her great joy in life. She will be remembered as a wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and friend to those who were touched by her. Memorial service will be 1:00 p.m. Saturday at Cornerstone of Wichita 5318 E. 37th St. N.
