Publish in a newspaper
Wilma was united in marriage on December 7, 1957 to Mr. James Sheehan and they spent the next 66 happy years together. Mrs. Sheehan was a loving homemaker who enjoyed travel and spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. In the last few years you could find her listening to hymns and country music. Wilma was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and aunt who will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Wilma is survived by her husband, James Sheehan of Caledonia, MI; her children, Cynthia (Rick) Younce of Yorkville, IL, Douglas (Ruth) Sheehan of Middleville, MI, Jeffrey Sheehan of Chicago, IL, and Sarah (Chris) Fulk of Marion, IA; her eight grandchildren; her five great grandchildren; her sister Martha Timm of Niles, MI; as well as many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Bert and Mildred Mesecar; and her ten siblings.
A Memorial Service will be announced at a later date.
