Wilma Arlene Sheehan

Wilma Arlene Sheehan, 89, of Caledonia,MI passed in the arms of Jesus on Sunday, 
Feb.18, 2024 at Jennings Terrance in Aurora,IL. She spent her last days 
surrounded by her family and the melodies of her favorite hymns.

Wilma was born in Clarksville,MI on April 23, 1934 to Bert and Mildred (Hess) 
Mesecar. She was the youngest of 12 children and attended a one-room school 
house called Brown School, later graduated from Freeport High School.

Wilma was united in marriage on December 7, 1957 to James Sheehan and they spent 
the next 66 happy years together. Wilma was a loving mother to her four children 
and enjoyed her work as a home maker. She loved tending to her gardena and was 
an expert in canning and preserving the food she grew for her family. Her 
strawberry jam was a favorite with her grandchildren.She was regarded by her 
sisters to be the best cook among them - her Christmas fudge knew no rival - and 
she passed her love of baking and cooking down to her children and grand-
children.

Wilma enjoyed traveling all over the United States with her family when her 
children were young and later visited many countries in Europe and Australia 
with her husband after his retirement.

Wilma had a playful sense of humor and although dementia kept her from 
remembering in her later years, she never lost her sharp wit and quick retorts 
that kept her family laughing. She also never lost her love of hymns, and could 
sing along with her favorite songs until the end.Wilma was a committed followers 
of Christ and knowing that her trust lay solely in His work for her salvation, 
her family looks forward to tthe day they are reunited with her in Heaven.

She was deeply loved by family and will be greatly missed by those who knew her.

Cynthia (Rick) Younce of Yorkville, IL., Douglas (Ruth) Sheehan of Middleville, 
MI, Jeffrey Sheehan of Chicago,IL, and Sarah (Chris) Fulk of Marion,IA; hr eight 
grandchildren; her five great-grandchildren; her sister Martha Timm of Niles,MI; 
as well as many nieces and nephews.
