Wilma Jean Troup

Wilma Jean Troup, a loving mother and devoted wife, passed away peacefully on March 19, 2026, at the age of 78. Jean's greatest joy in life was caring for others and raising her two children. She devoted herself fully to motherhood, giving her children unconditional love and guidance. For the past 2 years, Jean shared her unconditional love with her grandson. Jean loved flowers and gardening, spending countless hours tending to her plants and her yard. Jean expressed her creativity through art, particularly watercolor painting. With gentle brushstrokes and soft colors, she captured scenes inspired by nature and everyday beauty. Jean was a fighter. She bravely battled leukemia and survived it 14 years ago.
