As a young boy growing up in Cottonville, I remember Wilma and Henry very well. Donna, her daughter, would go to our 4-H meetings with Patsy Weber (Wilma’s sister Vernell’s daughter) and my sister Joanne Novak. My mother (Edythe Krapf) was also a member of the Cottonville homemakers club, and we would see Wilma there. Wilma was always a very busy woman, involving herself in many activities. I also remember Henry very well, as he and my dad (George Krapf) worked in the construction trade together–Henry had a unique sense of humor, and was always drawing something.
my thoughts and prayers are with you. Wilma was a special lady.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts are with you at this time.
I took care of Wilma at Villa Pines. She was a wonderful woman. We would have our little talks and she enjoyed the company. She was a wonderful woman. She will be missed by many. Now she is at peace and with her husband.
