Wilma was born August 18, 1930, in Lincoln, NE to William and Kathryn (Weir) Fisher and she graduated from College View High School in Lincoln in 1948.  She was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers, Charles, Kenneth, Bill, and Burt Fisher; her spouses, Clyde Irons, Leo D. Brown, and Marvin L. Uden; and her daughter, Debra (Irons) Blunt.

Wilma moved to the Hastings area from Lincoln in 1970 and worked as a cook at Ray’s Fireside Lounge until her retirement in 1998.  She was a past member of the YWCA and enjoyed socializing and serving her community.  The numbers listed below listing children and grandchildren may be slightly skewed because she often opened her heart and her home to individuals and children in need and earned their love and respect as “mother” and “grandmother” to them.
