Wilma Louise (Judd) Williams, 98, passed away July 15, 2026, at the Apostolic Christian Home, Sabetha, KS surrounded by her loving family.
Wilma was born on October 17, 1927, in Troy, KS to Seth H. and Stella (Caton) Judd. She was a lifelong resident of Troy, retiring in 1990 after serving as Doniphan County Clerk for over 25 years. Before working at the Courthouse, she worked at the telephone office in Troy for 17 years. September 22, 1948, she married Earl R. Williams, Jr. He preceded her in death on March 6, 2000. She was also predeceased by her parents, infant grandson, Jay Michael Simmons, siblings, Raymond Judd and Joyce Ptomey.
Wilma lived a life of serving and doing for others.
She was a member of American Legion Auxiliary, Troy, and VFW Auxiliary, Wathena, KS.
Wilma was also a longtime member of the Troy Christian Church. She became the "unofficial" greeter at church by welcoming everyone with a fist bump and hug. Sunday was her favorite day of the week so she could be with her church family and worship the Lord. She is anxious to give Jesus a fist bump and hug.
Wilma's hearing had been taken away, but her faith and love of people continued. Although she faced challenges--complete, loss of hearing, partial loss of sight, and a stroke, she kept her faith with her eyes on Jesus!! After Wilma's stroke, she began her residency at the Apostolic Christian Home in Sabetha, Kansas. She's been there for a year and eight months. The Staff loved Wilma, they were so good to her, very caring, compassionate, and kind.
