Wilma May Emerson

Wilma enjoyed shopping for anything but mostly for clothes. She had a wonderful sense of humor and never had anything negative to say about anyone. She was a reading teacher who retired from the Mustang school district. Wilma was a faithful member of Grace Place Baptist Church. She always made it a point to read her Bible and remember to say her prayers. Wilma loved playing games. Even in her later years, she enjoyed playing dominos and “Moon”. Wilma made a famous chocolate pudding that her family loved very much. In fact, Wilma loved desserts of all kinds.
