Wilma was the beloved wife of Ralph John Poelman. On October 11 of this year they had celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary, in her room at Good Samaritan Park Meadows Village. She still enjoyed a bite of cake with her family. Wilma was born December 21, 1928 in the family home in Lynnville county, Iowa, United States. She was raised by a young widowed mother and uncle and Grandmother and aunt. It was a childhood full of hard work, and chores at a young age, she was proud of her cow milking at age 5, and she loved sleeping by young hatched chicks in the brooder house, as a child. She loved her Iowa roots, and was proud to take that heritage into the family life she shared with her husband Ralph. They met at a young people's convention in Lethbridge in 1957 and married soon after the convention. Adjusting to Alberta farm life was a bit tougher than she thought, but being resilient, she strived to make a good life, one that was filled with lots of children, gardens, and blue skies. She spent hours working tirelessly on her sewing, quilting, crocheting, and patching. She was a fabulous cook and baker. She loved preserving food, and was always trying a new idea. Christian Reformed church life was important, but she always missed her reformed roots from Sully, Iowa. However, she was rock solid in her faith, she always knew the Lord as her personal Saviour. She wasn't afraid to challenge and push her family, and took great delight when her beloved children exceeded her expectations. She was the kind of lady who said it like it was, whether you cared to hear it or not, but she was greatly admired for her tough grit and compassion. This was the lady who wasn't afraid to adopt a passel of kids, and get her husband, and son to love them as much as she did. Fondly loved and remembered by her children: Albert(Darlene) Poelman of Granum; Dena(Gary)Slezina of Lethbridge; Jerry(Michelle) Poelman of Fort Macleod; Leroy(Sharon)Poelman of Granum; Doris(Len)Moorman of Coaldale. She is survived by her only sister, Alberta(Arthur) Havinga of Lethbridge, and her children Adrianna(Dyce)Bolduc, Jennie(Brian) Chernwichan, Walter(Teresa )Havinga, and Elza Bouwman. Her brother and sister in laws on her husband's side: Klaas Poelman, Jennie Williamson, William(Hetty) Poelman, and Henrietta Wierenga. She was predeceased by her parents: Albert & Mary DeKoning, her daughter, Leona Poelman and two grand daughters Kimberly Ann Poelman and Kyndra ReAnn Poelman; her in-laws George and Mendine Poelman, brothers and sister-in-laws, Hilda and Gerhard Vos, Ralph Williamson, Annie Poelman, Enno Wierenga, and her nephews George Poelman, Sidney Havinga, Clarence and Arnold Vos.
