Wilma was born on September 21, 1930, the daughter of the late Melvin and Lettie (Fielding) Gore. Growing up on the family farm, near Dale, gave her a strong work ethic and many fond memories.

She was a member of Grace Lutheran Church of Winchester, where she was a Sunday school teacher and a member of the Mary Circle. Wilma loved to garden, bake, sew, and travel in the family camper "out west". She also enjoyed taking day trips throughout Wisconsin.
Wilma is survived by her husband, Charles; her three sons, John (Patti), Michael (Amy Jo), and Lee (special friend Brenda); five grandchildren: Angela (special friend Kyle), Bryan, Heather, Lettie, and Hans; step-grandchildren, Stephanie and Brandi. She is also survived by a special daughter-in-law, Kathie Christianson; a sister, Ruth Vonck; sisters-in-law, Dorothy Gore, Vivian Gore, Margot Christianson, and Lorraine Anderson; and brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Kenneth and June Julius; many nieces, nephews, and special friends.
