On Saturday, April 19, 2025, Wanda Jean Haskins Wilhelm went home to her heavenly home surrounded by her husband of 60 years and her family. Mrs. Wilhelm was born in McDonald, Tennessee to Joe and Emogene Haskins on July 12, 1947. Later her family moved to High Point, North Carolina where she met her future husband, Troy Wilhelm.
Mrs. Wilhelm was a high school graduate of High Point Central High School and graduated from Randolph Community College where she earned an associate’s degree in early childhood education. She and her husband pastored several different churches over a 50-year period. She worked as a substitute teacher for Randolph County Schools for many years. Later in life she was the director of the Randleman Church of God Day Care. She was a member of Phi Theta Beta.
Mrs. Wilhelm loved her husband, her 4 children, her sons-in-law, her daughters-in-law, her 11 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. She loved her church family and was considered a bonus mom and mawmaw to many other children throughout her life.
But, more importantly she loved God. She showed the love of God to everyone she met and if you gave her second, she would tell you all about Him too. When the church doors were open you would find her sitting in her regular place ready to worship God. Her biggest desire was for everyone to know Him and the love He has for you.
Mrs. Wilhelm was preceded in death by her parents Joe and Emogene Haskins, her brother Bill Haskins, her brother Wayne Haskins, many aunts and uncles.
She is survived by her husband, Reverend Troy Wilhelm, daughter Sharon (Dennis) Routh of Franklinville, daughter Sondra (Crickett) Laughlin of Liberty, son Michael (Natalie) Wilhelm of Greensboro, and daughter Teresa-Tina (Scott) Hughes of Asheboro. Her grandchildren, great grandchildren, granddaughters-in-law, grandsons-in-law, her church family and many friends.
Her going home service will be at Randleman Church of God on Thursday, April 24, 2025, at 2 o’clock in the afternoon with Reverend Danny Peterson and Reverend Timothy Macon ministering. The family will receive visitors beginning at noon prior to the service.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that memorial contributions be made to the Randleman Church of God Children’s Ministries by mailing a contribution to Randleman Church of God at 215 E Brown Street, Randleman, NC 27317.
