Wilma’s hobbies were – bingo, slot machines, and sports – you can’t forget that dice shooting or pool-sharking in her younger years. Many guys at the local VFW Hall in Childress, TX wouldn’t shoot pool against her, because she would run the table on them. 

Over the past few years, her FAVORITE phrase was “Chelsey and I are “going NORTH” and most of you know what “North” means! 

Her favorite sports teams were the Dallas Cowboys and the Texas Rangers.

In closing, Wilma lived her life to the fullest, but was tired, and often talked about why she was still here. Thank you for those who chose to be in her life and celebrate this time with us – for it is a celebration. Don’t have sorrow, for she was ready … ready to go home and see Buddy and Gary again, for their own celebration.
