In Loving Memory of Wilma Jo Arlinghaus, A devoted wife, mother, cherished Mawmaw, and an extraordinary woman, Wilma Jo Arlinghaus lived 86 years with a heart full of love and generosity. On Friday, April 4, 2025, her Heavenly Father gently called her home, granting her eternal peace.
Wilma is survived by her beloved husband, Clifford Arlinghaus; her two children, Philip (Jana) Arlinghaus and Gail (Ron) Riggs; and her adored grandchildren-Meghan, Abigail, Shannon (Edward), Rachel (PJ), and Nicholas. She also leaves behind her step-grandchildren, Michelle (Chris), Samantha, and T.J.; her great-granddaughter, Cara; and her step-great-granddaughter, Evelynn. A host of family members and dear friends mourn her passing and celebrate the legacy of love she leaves behind.
A longtime parishioner of All Saints Catholic Church, Wilma's faith was a guiding light through life's many trials. She was an amazing cook and hostess, always dolled up, ready for anything. Making the Arlinghaus Christmas Eves a tradition and something special. She was an amazing conversationalist and loved to indulge in fun gossip with a laugh that was unforgettable. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Friends and loved ones are invited to honor Wilma's memory on Tuesday, April 15, beginning at 4:30 p.m., followed by a reflection service at 6:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions to the Parkinson's Foundation would be greatly appreciated. Online condolences may be shared at www.strawserfuneralhome.com.
