Wilma W. Townsend, 86, Merriam, KS passed away Tuesday, July 28, 2020 at Advent Health Shawnee Mission.

Wilma was born on August 19, 1933 in Agra, KS to Fred and Ethel Miller. Wilma married Gerald H. Townsend on June 2, 1956 in Manhattan, KS. He preceded her in death, on July 15, 1997. Wilma was also preceded in death by her daughter, Teresa Marangelli, on March 29, 2019; her siblings, Leonard Miller, Warren Miller, Abby Schrueben, Kay Gates. Survivors include her daughter, Lisa (John) Adair of Cincinnati, OH and sons Kent (Ellen) Townsend of Topeka, KS and Alan (Anita) Townsend of Inola, OK. Wilma is also survived by grandchildren; Ty (Amy Townsend), Leslie (Mack) Mondesir, Steven (Haley) Townsend, Josh Townsend, Melissa (Travis) Walker, Luke Townsend, Jordan Adair, and step-grandchildren Michael Marangelli and Marissa Marangelli and three great grandchildren.

Wilma spent most of her married life as a housewife while working some at Johnson County Community College. Wilma was very involved in the life of Overland Park Christian Church serving on many committees and she especially enjoyed her time as a Stephen’s Minister, calling on members and serving communion. Wilma will be remembered for how much she enjoyed going out to eat, happy hours and being able to travel with family and friends.
