After the death of Edna in 1945, William married Edna's sister, Lillian, who raised Wilma and her two sisters, Florence and Carolyn. Wilma graduated in 1956 from Pollock High School and received her teaching degree from Northern State Teacher's College (Northern State University) in 1960. In the fall of 1960 she started teaching at Wheaton, MN for several years before moving back to Pollock where she taught and later became the business manager at the Pollock School for 27 years. She was a faithful member of the Pollock Memorial Presbyterian Church, serving as treasurer for many years. She was a member of the Women In Church, the Sarah Circle, as well as a former member of the Church choir. In the community, she was a member of the Pollock Community Interpretive Center, and past town board member and worked on many election boards. Following the loss of her two sisters to cancer, she became the mother to seven nieces and nephews, who always called her "Aunt Wilma" or "AW". She loved to watch their families grow and share special occasions with them. She loved gardening and planting flowers, but soon found to love retirement even more. Survivors include her nieces and nephews: Dale (Donna) Meyer, Pollock; Jeff (Peggy) Meyer, Miller, SD; Kent (Linda) Meyer, Pollock; Gene Meyer, Sioux Falls, Carol (Rick) Chaney, Lafayette, CO; and Susan (Jeff) Schafer, Bismarck, ND; and their families, and one brother-in-law, Vernon Meyer, Pollock. Preceding her in death are her parents, William, Edna and Lillian; infant sister, Edna Jean, and infant brother, William Bert, her two sisters, Florence (Harold) Meyer and Carolyn Meyer and a niece Gail Meyer. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Pollock Memorial Presbyterian Church Memorial Fund or New Hope, a foundation that helps local cancer survivors financially.
