Wilma J. Middlemas

Today we are honoring, celebrating, and remembering Wilma Jean Middlemas. She was a woman of grace and courage, with a stubborn streak that showed up when she set her mind to a goal or task. 

Our mother was truly a best friend and we are humbled by the challenge of describing the fullness of her beauty and caring here today. I don't know how she did it, but Mom always found the perfect balance between work and home. Even though she worked 40 – 50 hours a week to support us, she prioritized family dinner. That time was sacred to our family. Her love and kindness were infused in everything she did, whether she was baking cookies, gardening or making sure her children had fresh clean clothes year after year. 

She had a magical way of bringing joy every time she walked into the room. No one who met her could forget her smile. And we will never forget the advice and the lessons she taught us. Her wisdom will forever guide the decisions we make through the rest of my life. We love you, Mom.
