Wilma retired from Ft. Lewis in 1996, where she was an assistant to General Harley Davis. Wilma was an excellent cook who owned the Wooden Spoon in Gig Harbor during the 1970's. Prior to moving to Washington, she had careers with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Shorewood High School, and Teweles Seed Company. Wilma was trained as a medical technologist and attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she was a Delta Zeta. Wilma was a talented handwork artist, known for her Scandinavian sweaters, crewel work, and rosemaling. In later years she became an avid quilt-making volunteer at Christ Lutheran Church. She was immensely proud of her Hungarian heritage, was a translator for the International Institute Milwaukee's court cases, and a Hungarian dancer at the International Folk Fest. She grew up in the Hungarian community in Bay View (Milwaukee). The family thanks the staff of the Lakewood Health Center for their loving care over two years.
