She married Walter Robert Miller on Jan. 27, 1940, in Palmyra, Mo. Walter died in 1994. She spent her life caring for her family and was a fifth-generation member of First Congregational Church of Christ.
Wilma was an avid reader and a longtime supporter of the Cedar Rapids Public Library. She enjoyed British history and treasured her fond memories of her trip to England for her 80th birthday.
She will be remembered for her sense of humor and engaging conversations. Her greatest love in life was for her family, who will always remember how blessed they were with her loyal and unconditional love.
Wilma has received her angel wings and has gone to be with her Lord.
The family would like to express their appreciation and gratitude to the staff of Northbrook Care Center for its professional and loving care of Wilma.
