Wilma Washburn

Wilma Washburn passed away and I will remember her sweet spirit.  I met Wilma at my wedding reception.  She was Myrna's cousin.  They gave Jim and I a quilt that was made by Wilma and her neighbor.  Just before Josh was born, we rented their house while they went on a  mission.  We found a home to purchase and moved in when I heard that Wilma's husband, Quinn, passed away while on their mission.  Wilma returned home without him.  Jim would often help her with her computer.  She used it often for family history and writing letters to family and friends.  We received many Christmas letter from her.  We will miss her!!
"Wilma Lillywhite Washburn was born Oct. 19, 1929 and was called back home to be with her husband, Quinn, children, Harold and Shirley, and grandson TJ on Wednesday, August 20, 2014. Left to carry on her traditions of love are her seven sons: Robert, Walter, Verl, Glen, Brent, Brian and Roger. Her legacy will continue through 28 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren. After raising her children, she lost her husband Quinn in 1997, and enjoyed lots of time with her posterity. She was later remarried to Allan Brooks in 2001, and he passed in 2012. Wilma will be missed very dearly by all who knew her. "
