Wilma G. Ahrend

1916-2014

Our dear mother was just passing through this lifetime on a journey to see her savior. She devoted many hours to the study of God’s Word in worship and praise for Him. Her inner light did shine, Wilma loved the Lord Jesus and her cheerful personality was her best trait, greeting everyone with a sweet happy “hello”.

She was adored by her family and friends, and anyone that spent time with her. Wilma was a dedicated mother, grandmother and homemaker, talented seamstress. She was so good at tatting lace she taught classes at her senior living center. Her tatting adorned the edges of many loving gifts to her family and friends. Our dear mother was called to her heavenly home on April 8, 2014, age 97. Born in Snyder, OK to John W. Solomon and Oma A. Noel.
