She is also survived by her sister, Joy Bennett and her husband, Arthur Bennett; her brother, Timothy W. Stanley and his wife, Bobbie Stanley; along with extended family members and dear friends who will cherish her memory.

Wilma’s life reflected quiet perseverance. Though she experienced profound loss, she continued to move forward with grace and determination, leaning on her Savior, Jesus Christ, for strength. She found joy in tending her flowers and beautiful orchids. She will be remembered for her gentle spirit, compassionate heart, her infectious smile, and the kindness she extended to others.

Wilma will be laid to rest with the McVicker family in Pennsboro, West Virginia.

” The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.  He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. . . . . Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”  — Psalm 23:1
