At 93, Wilma was the matriarch of the family, and added a sparkle to a room just by being in it. She was the life of every party; young or old, everyone was drawn to her. She loved being Gigi to all the family's babies and children, and couldn't wait for their visits. She was a paragon of style, always dressed impeccably, with her hair and nails freshly done. She loved a stiff cocktail and stories that occasionally had some spice. Wilma J. was truly one of a kind.
