Wilma had a strong Christian faith and worshiped in the Baptist Church. She was a member of the First General Baptist Church in Oakland City where she served the Women’s Bible class in many different capacities, taught Sunday school and served on many other committees and functions.

Wilma is survived by her sons, Roger, Randy (Zoe), and Rick (Beth). Grandchildren, RJ Conner, Breanna (Aaron) Black, Zach Conner, Jamie (Jason) McLaren, Adam (Abbie Cook-fiancé) Conner, and Katie Conner. Four great-grandchildren, and her sister, Phyllis Preston.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Ken Conner, parents Earl and Cora (Willis) Barnett, sisters, Eldena Poehlein, Beatrice Richardson, Mary Lou Scharfenberger, Ruth Heacock, granddaughter Kiersten L. Conner, and daughter-in-law Kathey Conner.
