She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Jerry, her son, Michael, her two daughters, Jean Goins and Teresa Kenyon, her granddaughter Anna Burrola, great grandson, Knox Burrola, and her two sisters, Sharon Ebersole and Francine VanSickle. She is survived by her children, Mark (Joy) Wilhelm, Matt Wilhelm, Monica (Anthony) Manginelli, Jake (Suzanne) Wilhelm, Mary (Mike) Burrola and Jim (Kim) Wilhelm, 23 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, sister Arlene Hageman, many nieces, nephews and friends.
Mom loved all things, and we have so many special memories with her, especially fishing, camping, panning for gold with dad, Thursday night poker, Bingo, Las Vegas, and anywhere there was a casino. She loved her morning coffee while doing word games, puzzles and cards with the grandkids on the weekends. She was the “Queen” of the house, and always gave the best hugs. She was a beautiful soul that will be deeply missed and loved by all.
She loved this saying: Laugh when you can, apologize when you should, and let go of what you can't change. Kiss slowly, forgive quickly, play hard, take chances, give everything, and have no regrets. Life is too short to be anything but HAPPY!
Eternal light shine upon her dear Lord, and may her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, Rest In Peace.
