Wilma lived all of her life in Elk Grove, aside from a short time during WWII when she and her predeceased husband, Benjamin Ray DeWald, lived in Spokane, Washington. They lived happily in their Elk Grove home on Colton Ave. shortly after returning from Spokane and Wilma continued living there after Ben’s death in 2011until she passed.  She left behind 3 sons, Danny and wife Stella, Jay and wife Terri, Dale and wife Anna, plus nieces Jackie DeWald Mason, Janice DuVall, Jodean McDonald, Cathy Yokoyama and Jill Kelso, and nephews Jim and Randy Entrican, Don DeWald, John Van Doren and Chris Van Doren, plus numerous loving grandchildren and great grandchildren (last count at about 40). She will sorely be missed by all.
