She was greeted with loving arms by her parents Leander (Lee) and Shirley, her brothers Les and Ron, and sister Joyce, as well as her special brother Eugene.
Wilma was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She adored her family, who were the centre of her world. Her kindness, beautiful smile, sense of humour, and fun-loving nature endeared her to not only her family but also to many friends and acquaintances. She treated everyone she met with kindness, and respect. She was the unofficial bingo queen of Six Nations, an avid bowler, the driving force behind Arrow Snack Bar, and Wagon Wheel Grill, a member of the Six Nations Red Hat society, and a member of the Ohsweken Baptist Church. Dave and Wilma began their family legacy in Buffalo, which remained their second home, and they are lifelong and diehard Buffalo Bills, and Sabres fans. Wilma loved to travel and enjoyed her years in AZ.
Visitation at Styres Funeral Home, Saturday, October 15th, from 2 – 4pm, and 7 – 9 pm. Funeral Service and Burial will take place at Ohsweken Baptist Church on Sunday, October 16th at 2pm.
The family sends our thanks to Six Nations Long Term Care, Dr. Monture and the Palliative Care Team, and Dr. Jerry Hsiao.

Very sad news. Spent many a happy afternoon pouring over the football pools with a cold beverage, talking. She and Dave were happily married for a very long time, much like my parents Graham and shirley, and it showed in everything they did.
Condolences to all.
Love,
Scott and Marilyn
