Wilma
was a woman of strong faith
and a longtime member of First Baptist Church of Battlefield. She served God and others through organizations such as St. Luke's Cancer Institute, Habitat for Humanity, and her church. Wilma loved to travel, play bridge, and was a huge sports fan. She loved the Cardinals, Chiefs and especially the Bears and Lady Bears from Missouri State University. Wilma was also a pie maker extraordinaire. She won several ribbons at the Ozark Empire Fair but mostly she just loved bringing joy through her pies to family and friends.
Because of her love for children, memorial contributions may be made to Isabel's House (www.isabelshouse.org).
The family will receive friends beginning at noon Thursday, June 21 at First Baptist Church of Battlefield, 5010 S State Hwy FF, Battlefield, MO, with a memorial service to follow at 1:00 PM.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Midwest Cremation and Funeral Services.
