She is survived by her brother, Elijah "Jack" Brown; Aunt, Dorothy Lucas; Nephews, Steve Taylor (Debra), Sedrick Brown (Johhna), Matthew Brown; Nieces, Cherlyn Hodge (April), Candace Bosier (Aaron), Michelle Brown (Nick), Courtney Hawthrone (DeShawn); 10 Great Nieces and Nephews; 9 Great-great Nieces and Nephews; several cousins and other family members and friends.

Those who knew Wilma knew 6 things to be true. The first – She was a wonder in the kitchen and had a genuine love for serving others. Holidays, birthdays, Sundays, and any day, she would cook what her children wanted, and we would sit around grazing and greasy and smiling from ear to ear. 2 - She had a weak stomach and depending on what you requested to eat (turkey tails, kidneys, or pecan praline), she would gag her way through it. She is the only person who could dream about food and wake up gagging. 3. She loved reality TV, potato chips and pepperoni pizza. 4 – She was quick with a house shoe. Say the wrong thing or make the wrong joke and that shoe would come off in a flash and chase you down the hall. Her brother, Elijah "jack" Brown was on the receiving end of that shoe most days. 5 – She had a name for everybody, and everybody had a name for her. We were Pokie, Til, Sugarbaby, Dummy, BoBo, Noodle, Reebaby, CanCan, Tete, Meat, Nicholas, Daddy, Sambo, Pookie, Reno, Baby and Sedrick…yours will remain unnamed, but we allllll know what it was. And she was Aunt Wilma, Woowoo, Miss Wilma ooohhh, Wilmi, auntie, sister, Williemo, Godmommy and so much more.

And 6 – she carried on anyhow. Wilma was the calm quiet in every storm, a desert oasis, and the daily reminder to us all to continue to do. Do for others. Give to others. Her anointed hands worked for and gave to us all despite circumstance, pain, grief, or loss. She carried on anyhow and then showed us, her children, how to carry on after her ascension before ascending. And we will carry on. And we will see you again.
