Wilma & Roy were the best Neighbors and friends that one can ask for! We always kept in touch even after we moved to Red Deer Ab. We returned to visit them every time we took a trip down. When we moved Back to wpg., we continued to visit and were always close Friends. After Roy’s passing, and Wilma moved to Ab. To be close to Her Family, we kept in touch via telephone at least once or twice a year. Wilma will be missed dearly and always remembered! Rest in Peace My Friend! You are now in spirit with your dear Roy……. With our dear Lord. Always Remembered and Loved, Your friends Ethel & Don McCully - Posted by: Ethel McCjully (Former Neighbour And Friend) on: May 18, 2026

Craig & Cheryl and their families, So sorry to hear of Wilma’s passing. Her spiritual being is now with Roy. So many years have passed since the Butlers were neighbours to the Essexes on Foxgrove Avenue. We are remembering those times and relaying our sympathies to you.
