'Wilma' Elizabeth Riegert
Was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. She left this world peacefully on November 20, 2022 at age 86. She was born to Ted and Isabel Osborne on August 3, 1936. Wilma was the oldest of three: Audrey (Kervan) Chalmers and Marjorie (Kenyon) MacGowan. In school, Wilma was a track athlete with many awards. She met and fell in love with her future husband, Walter 'Wally' Riegert (predeceased). Together they had 5 children: little Kenny (who died at birth), Ken, Wanda, Gord and Lori. Ken & Nancy Riegert: Adam Riegert; Luke Riegert. Wanda & Bruce Mann: Tim & Christine Mann, Levi and James; Nadine & Dallas Reimer, Jude, Mya, Kylee, Abel; Jason & Kaitlyn Mann, Adalai, Kohen, Justus, Eden, Ransom; Jessica & Joel Smith, Charlotte, Asher, Jana, Ezekiel; Alisha & Cody Eich, Phoenix, Gemma, Coco, and Nova. Gord & Nancy Riegert (predeceased, also Jessica's birth parents). Lori & Frank Domen: Heidi & Ryan Gignac, Skylar; Katie & Josh Kacur; Shane & Catherine Domen; Nicole & Mark Rutledge, Cahlin, Kiera; Nathan & Summer Domen, and Jonah.
Jesus and her family were Wilma's priority. She had a vivacious personality, loving life, her garden, music and friends. She never stopped growing and inspired many with her sweetness and faith. As she digressed in health and dementia took hold, she remained at peace, trusting her Jesus. She is now with Him.
"And now... Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine, good things in others. Think about all you can praise God for and be glad about. Keep putting into practice all you learned from me and saw me doing, and the God of peace will be with you."
Philippians 4:8-9
