Wilma Boggs Obituary

BELLEFONTAINE - Wilma Louise Boggs, 82, of Bellefontaine passed away Tuesday morning, February 9, 2016 at Mary Rutan Hospital. She was born in Waverly, Ohio on March 30, 1933 to the late Glenn and Sara (Whaley) Sager. She was also preceded in death by a son Dominic Frank Colasante, granddaughter Lacey Nichole Arthur, and sisters Margie Rogers and Arlene Buker.

Wilma attended Hilliard High School. She married Dominic Colasante in 1950 and they had three children, surviving daughters Sharon Nichols of Johnstown and Teresa (Bob) Beebe of Bellefontaine.

Clarence and Wilma ran Boggs Carpentry and together managed Camp Myeerah for the Girl Scouts. Wilma loved all animals, wild and domestic. She enjoyed line dancing and always had a great sense of humor. Wilma was known to frequent the China Grill and even had her own table.
