Wilma Alice Hudson was born on December 19, 1918, in Wayne County, Iowa, to Carl and Anna Duer. She had four brothers, John Duer, Chester Duer, Wayne Head and James Head, and one sister, Bonnie Head Deney.
On July 3, 1938, she married Leonard Hudson. They had one daughter, Sharon.
Wilma candled eggs at the Russell Produce and later did sewing for Gross Galesburg. When her husband's health declined, she retired from work outside the home and became a fulltime housewife.
Living the majority of their lives in Russell, she and Leonard moved to Okmulgee, Okla., in 1982 to be near their daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren.
In Okmulgee, Wilma was a member of the Okmulgee Pony Girls, an honorary member of Delta Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi and Town and Country Christian Church. She was a volunteer at the George Nigh Rehabilitation Institute until her health began to detiorate. She regularly attended the Okmulgee Senior Citizens Activities and meals, especially enjoying the bus trips to various Oklahoma sites and festivities.
Wilma's life was not complete unless she was doing something for her family and friends. Her craft projects were well known in all of her organizations, and many were the activities that included something special from her kitchen.
She loved to laugh and delighted retelling stories of excapades in which she and her friend and sister-in-law, Doris Foutch, participated. Upon hearing one of the stories, Pastor Humburg stated to Doris, "You should write a book." Hilarious happenings seemed to follow those two around.
Wilma enjoyed sharing patterns and ideas with another of her friends and sister-in-law, Neva Duer. They enjoyed visiting and corresponding over the miles between Oklahoma and Iowa.
A major emphasis for Wilma was sharing in the lives of her daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren and great-granddaughter. From Sunday dinners, weddings, births and graduations, to helping with the laundry, babysitting, games, shopping and Saturday soup outings, her life was entertwined with her family.
She liked surprises, sweets and maid-rites. Each night ended with a phone call to talk briefly and simply say, "I love you" and "good-night." Ten o'clock p.m. won't quite be the same in Okmulgee, Okla.
Wilma was preceded in death by her father, mother, four brothers and her husband.
She will be greatly missed by her daughter and son-in-law, Sharon and Dale Sibert; grandson, Brian Sibert and wife Connie, and great-granddaughter, Taron Sibert, all of Okmulgee, Okla.; granddaughter, Shannon Sibert of Norman, Okla.; sister Bonnie Deney of Stockton; sisters-in-law; brother-in-law; nieces and nephews.
She fought a long hard battle, but left this life on March 11, 1994, in Oklahoma City, Okla.
