Wilma was a lifelong member of Shrine of the True Cross Catholic Church and a member of the quilting group whose members became her dearest friends. She tirelessly made beautiful quilts for all of her children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She loved to garden and kept her yard filled with beautiful flowers. She was also a talented artist and left many treasured oil paintings for her family to enjoy. She was a devoted wife whose marriage serves as the golden standard for all of her family to follow. She was a loving and loved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

My deepest sympathy to the Hogan family. My heart goes out to you as you mourn Wilma. Our heavenly Father lovingly assures us that he “is close to the brokenhearted.” (Ps. 34:18) He also promises to resurrect our dear loved ones back to life, as he did his dear friend Lazuras. (Acts 24:15, John 11:38-44) May these promises bring you comfort and give you hope for the future. (Rom. 15:4)
My deepest sympathies to the Hogan/Bonario family. Wilma was a truly wonderful lady.
My dad, George Hogan, always loved his visits with Eddie and Wilma.
May she rest in peace!
Thank you, Peggy. I loved your mom and dad.
