We shared our lives with one another for 17+ years. We shared a love of family, fun, singing, and dancing. We were both in love with people and helped others thru counseling, therapy and just listening. Spiritually and learning more everyday was a shared passion. I trusted Wilma with my family member to counsel him thru some tough times. We both love and adore children. I love you Wilma you will always reside in my heart. I know your new journey will be filled with love. RIP MY DEAR FRIEND.

So sad to hear of Wilmas passing. I have known her for most of my life growing up and then we became coworkers in our adult life. She will be remembered for her kindnesses, spirituality and inspiration to so many. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of those of who were blessed to know her. Wilma is paving the way to heaven for all of us. Rest In Peace. With love and admiration,

Wilma was a consummate social worker. Her advocacy and compassion extended way beyond her clients. She had only one purpose, to bring the Love of God to everyone she interacted with. I worked with her and learned from her, I was inspired by her and admired her. She added much to our world. May all the seeds she planted in her time with us, blossom and grow.

After many years of separation, I was happy to see Wilma sitting behind me We enjoyed the music of ABBA at Musikfest Cafe She was with friends and I with mine. It was fabulous to catch up with her. Our families are related making us third or forth cousins. We were peers at Kutztown University along with Willy. She worked with the BASD ESOL School2Work students with such dedication. Her laughter and cheery deposition was contagious. That night, six days prior to her passing, I remember her laughing, singing, and dancing on the dance floor enjoying life! God bless her always as she now dances with angels! Prayers to Willy and Zulma! My heart is broken. Wilma was one of a kind! Too young to be taken from family and friends. Condolences to her co-workers as well for she was loved by many❤

Wilma was a Warrior who took the pain of life and rewrote it, changing it into love and making the world better. She touched my life with her laughter and acceptance. Though time had separated us for many years, I will never forget the grace of her smile. Love to you, Wilma and thank you for being my friend. Sending love to Zulma and the family. ♥Mary Bowen
