Wilma Faulkner, age 95, passed away peacefully on October 24, 2026, in North Little Rock, Arkansas. She was born on March 20, 1931, in Richwood, West Virginia, and lived a life devoted to her family, her home, and the many friendships she cherished along the way.
Wilma was a devoted stay-at-home mother and a proud Army wife. Throughout her husband’s military service, she took great pride in welcoming and entertaining the men and women with whom they were stationed. Her home was a place of hospitality, friendship, and gathering, and she found great joy in bringing people together and making others feel welcome.
An avid reader and enthusiastic bridge player, Wilma enjoyed the simple pleasures of everyday life. Her mornings began with her newspaper and a cup of coffee, a familiar routine that reflected her appreciation for life’s quiet moments. She will be remembered for her dedication to her family, her love of entertaining, and the lasting memories she created with those around her.
Wilma was preceded in death by her parents, Oliver T. Green and Armitta J. Green; her beloved husband, Oscar Lee Faulkner; her siblings, Warren, Shelva, and Wanda; and her son, Richard Bruce Faulkner.
She leaves behind to cherish her memory her children, Wayne (Lisa) Faulkner, Julie Snodgrass, and Sharon (Jeff) Hawkins; four grandchildren, Lauren, Grant, Brooke, and Latrisha; eight great-grandchildren, Liam, Hayden, Audrey, Madilyn, Ethan, Alyssa, Kaylee, and Lily; and three great-great-grandchildren. Her family was an important part of her life, and her love and legacy will continue through the generations who follow her.
Wilma’s long life was filled with family, friendship, and a spirit of hospitality that touched those fortunate enough to know her. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who shared in her life.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to Gentiva Hospice in honor of Wilma.
Though she will be greatly missed, the memories she leaves behind will remain a lasting comfort to those who loved her.
