Report Copyright Violation | RIP Wilma Black... With an obituary like this, you deserve some peace. [ link to www.legacy.com] Wilma Marie Voliva BlackDecember 11, 1921 - December 22, 2015Wilma Marie Voliva Black struggled into life over 94 years ago. Alone, Eva realized that her sixth child wasn't crying and unwrapped the umbilical cord from her only daughter's neck on December 11, 1921.
Wilma was bored by living on an Indiana farm with no cash during the depression, but she liked school. Her nomination to the National Honor Society at Bloomington High School was a source of pride all her life although she thought her nomination had probably been influenced by her six Voliva brothers' athletic prowess and popularity. Her brother, Dick, had even represented the USA as a wrestler in the 1936 Olympic Games in Germany.
Her co-star in a church play, Charles Black pressed Wilma into an elopement in May 1939. Wilma later learned that their marriage had been a cover for his sexual affair with their minister's wife. Alcoholism and adultery continued throughout their marriage and ended in Wilma's filing for divorce in 1969. Wilma is survived by the five children born to this union: Brenda (PA), Ronald (ID), Donald (CO), David (NC) and Debra (CO). She is also survived by 16 known grandchildren and their families.And there's more dirty laundry at the link... |

My mother is 88 yrs old and has a long back story to her life too. Born in 1924 I can't and don't pretend to really know or understand this generation completely. Stronger than most all of us today and spent many years without even the basic necessities that we would all cry like babies to go without today. America will probably never have another generation to look back on with wonder.  |
