Wilma continued to live in Snyder until April 2005 when, at the age of 90, she moved to Edmond, Oklahoma, to be near her family. Wilma enjoyed life to the fullest. She loved God and was totally and faithfully devoted to the Church of Christ. If the doors were open, rain or snow, she would be there in her pew. She was an avid bridge player and continued to play up in to her 90's. She loved any kind of game of competition as well as playing dominoes with her great-grandchildren. She loved water skiing, basketball, which she played as a high school student, tennis and OU football. She traveled extensively over five continents, many times accompanied by her granddaughter, Leah Haynes. She was totally devoted to her family and is survived by a daughter and son in law, Sharon and Lloyd George, Edmond, Oklahoma; a son and daughter in law, Steven and Mona Urbach, Lawton; four grandchildren, Kelly George and wife Kelly of Edmond, Oklahoma, Leah Haynes and husband Brian, Shreveport, Louisiana, Eric Urbach and wife Amy, Edmond, and Millicent Turner and husband Mark, Coppell, Texas; 10 great grandchildren, Jade, Jackson and Jase George, Edmond, Ian and Olivia Haynes, Shreveport, Louisiana, Cameron, Sierra and Brianna Urbach, Edmond and Luks and Dillon Turner, Coppell, Texas.
