The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Tuesday, July 8, 2014


Wilma N. Dulek, 89, passed away Friday, July 4, 2014 in Lowell.  She was born 
January 20, 1925, the daughter of Don and Lura (Moss) Merithew. 

Wilma graduated from Carson City High Schools in 1942 as salutatorian of her 
class.  She also completed business classes at Lansing Business University.  
Wilma began employment in 1943 as a stenographer at the Ypsilanti Reed Company 
in Ionia, and remained there until her retirement from the accounting 
department in 1986, by which time the company had become General Tire. 

She was an excellent cook and baker, a talented seamstress, and enjoyed 
vegetable gardening and the canning of her produce.  Wilma also enjoyed playing 
cards (especially pinochle and cribbage), growing roses, solving jigsaw and 
crossword puzzles, and knitting dishcloths.  She was a league bowler for many 
years in Sheridan.  Dedicated to the belief of donating blood, Wilma gave well 
over five gallons in her lifetime.  In her retirement years, Wilma traveled 
with tour groups and made new acquaintances along the way.  She loved being 
with her family and the company of her friends.  A very generous person, Wilma 
often gave away her baked and canned goods, and in later years, the dishcloths 
she knitted.  She was self-sacrificing and a wonderful mother, grandmother, and 
great-grandmother.  Her family and friends will miss her greatly. 

Surviving Wilma are her daughters, Carolyn Wieczorek of Belding and Sharon 
Dulek of Kenosha, WI; daughter-in-law, Deb Dulek of Greenville; grandchildren, 
Brian Wireman, Jaime Wireman, Molly (Ryan) Harmon, Matt (Amy) Brockdorf, Derek 
(Erin) Dulek, Christopher (Heather) Wieczorek, and Alyssa Wieczorek; great-
grandsons, Zander Brockdorf and Michael Harmon; great-granddaughter baby 
Wieczorek due this month; sister, Wanda Wolverton; sister-in-law, Carole 
Merithew; and nieces, nephews, and cousins.  Wilma was preceded in death by her 
parents; son, Doug Dulek; and brother, Robert Merithew. 

Funeral and committal services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, July 7, 2014 at 
Hurst Funeral Home, Greenville, with Pastor Sharon Barnsdale officiating.  
Visitation will be Sunday from 3 to 6 p.m.  In lieu of flowers, memorial 
contributions may be given to the Alzheimer's Association, or to 
act.alz.org/TeamCapri (in support of the September 2014 Alzheimer's walk that 
members of Wilma's family will be participating in).
