Wilma Mae Donaldson Schneider, 81, passed away peacefully on October 8, 2026.
Wilma was born on August 12, 1945, to Wilburn and Marie Luce in Wharton.
Wilma lived a full life and was loved by many. She was a remarkable woman, truly one of a kind.
She was a firm believer in God, and without a doubt met her maker with open arms.
She was happiest when surrounded by her family, especially her children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren.
She loved her plants, gardening, cooking, canning and her fur babies, Abigail and Gypsy.
Her absolute best times were spent making memories fishing at the coast and sharing boat rides with “her Toddie.”
Her legacy will live on through her family.
