Wilma Jean (Bolinger) Gilbert, 83, Wichita, passed away Tuesday, Aug. 1, 2017, in Wichita, surrounded by her family.
She was born Oct. 10, 1933, in Stark, to Lawrence and Edith (Ludlum) Bolinger. She graduated from Moran High School in 1951. She worked in the cafeteria at Hugoton, so she could make sure her grandkids ate well. She enjoyed dancing with her square-dancing club, and watching her grandkids play sports. She never missed a Royals game on TV. She will long be remembered for her kindness and hospitality, which was shown to many as she worked at the Cinnabar Café in the Marriott hotel in Wichita. Her family could always count on her.
Wilma is survived by two children, Don Settlemyer and wife Kristie, Neosho Falls, and Melinda Martin, Wichita; stepchildren, Ted and Kathy Clubb, Haysville, John and Susan Chambers, Wichita, and Sandra Chambers, Wichita; 18 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren; a sister, Ruth Settlemyer and husband Vernon, Neosho Falls; five nephews and their families and many friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, a sister, Irene Clements, an infant son, Leslie Wayne, and husbands Woody Chambers and William Gilbert.
Services will be at noon Saturday at her graveside at Highland Cemetery in Iola. Visitation will be the evening prior from 6 to 8 p.m. at Feuerborn Family Funeral Service in Iola.
