Wilma was a great aunt. We visited Nick and Wilma many times. She was a great cook. I loved the cat clock in the kitchen. The eyes and tail swung to the seconds. Nick loved puzzles, gadgets and jokes. I will miss them. ❤️
I am sorry to hear about Aunt Wilma’s passing . I always enjoyed time spent during Christmas at the De Salvo’s with our large family.
I regret not staying in touch as often as I should have, but I will always remember her fondly.
My God bless all of you, and may her memories continue to comfort you.
I always felt that I looked a lot like her and that’s a good thing.
What a WONDERFUL, kind lady. Wilma was always ready to share her stories. I LOVED visiting and listening to her talk about her husband (the love of her life) and her family. She was so proud of each and everyone. Wilma, thanks for the memories. RIP, and may God Bless you. :)))
Wilma was one of nicest lady’s I have ever met, always had a kind heart! We send our deepest sympathies, our apologies for not being able to be there for the service. We are currently in Italy. We will say a prayer for her – God Bless

It is with a heavy heart that we’ll have to accept the loss of this once terrestrial angel and allow heaven receive her with all the pomp and fanfare that she so richly deserves.
We knew her to be an especially giving and loving person although our time together was limited, we knew that we met an earth angel. 😇
I feel very lucky to have had such a sweet and caring grandma. She was so smart, had a quick sense of humor, and was an amazing cook and baker. She always had pizzelles ready for us when we came to visit and cooked amazing Italian food. She also kept amazing photo books and family records and told stories from her long and beautiful life around the dinner table. I miss her dearly but I am very happy to have known her
I am so sorry to hear about Wilma`s passing. I remember so many get togethers and holidays at the house in the county. We don`t do things like that anymore, since families are so spread out , we were very blessed. I am happy to say I always thought I looked like her, never cooked as well,or had her laugh. Please accept our condolences, your memories will make you cry and laugh.God bless the entire family. love Eileen [Shroyer] Kisslan
I love you,
John Head
