Wilma was a beautiful woman who lived her life by her favorite phrase to be of good cheer and always had a kind word to say about everyone. She loved the beach especially Lavallette where she vacationed every summer. She was an avid reader and history buff and she loved bird watching and classical music but her happiest times was when she was with her family who she was most proud of.
Wilma was predeceased by her parents William and Edna Boesser and her daughter Jill Diane. She is survived by her loving children Lorie Mollineaux and her husband Patrick, John Watson and his wife Laura, Jamie Watson, Matthew Watson and his wife Cathy, her granddaughters Danielle, Alexandra, Alyssa, Miranda, Sarah and Kylie and great-grandson Declan.
