Wilma Gilbert Obituary

Wilma Alyce Gilbert
Wilma Alyce Stumpff Gilbert, 95, formerly of Santa Fe NM and Narberth PA, passed away September 24 at Providence Place in Dover PA of natural causes. She was the daughter of the late Ora and Georgie Myers Stumpff. She graduated from Santa Fe high school. Alyce was loved by all. Alyce had a great sense of humor, loved her God, her family, New Mexico, playing bridge and watching Jeopardy. She had said "How did I get this old?" and recently during her decline, "I thought my 90s were supposed to be fun." Her smile, her laugh, her warmth, and kindness will be cherished forever by all who had the privilege to know her.
Alyce will be deeply missed by her four children, David Stephens and wife Holly of Dover PA, Susan Severino and husband Bill of East Stroudsburg PA, Janet Sullivan and husband Bob of Elverson PA, and Diane Raboin of Mountville PA, her eight grandchildren, three step-grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren, three step-great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Alyce is also survived by her brother David Stumpff of Albuquerque NM. Alyce was preceded in death by her brothers George and James Stumpff, her first husband G. Don Stephens, her second husband Cecil Gilbert and her son-in-law Eric Raboin.
Cremation will be private. A celebration of Alyce's life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Wounded Warriors project.
