she was actively involved in the United Methodist Church as a lay-person
and organist. Wilma was an active member of the Kiwanis Queens while she
resided in Conklin. She is a lifetime member of the New York State Watch
Makers Assoc. and was the first women president of the organization. At
Willow point she served as President of the Resident's Council and was
an avid Bingo player. Throughout her life she was very well known for
her knitting and needlework, which she enjoyed doing and sharing. A
self-proclaimed "stubborn red-head" through and through, she "bounced
back" more times than expected. A good life deserved the good fight which
resulted in a peaceful passing. May God welcome her Home.  The family will
