Obituary
Longtime Atlanta resident, Wilma
Louise Fugate, 91, passed from this life at her home
on Tuesday, December 15, 2020.
Wilma was born January 2, 1929, in New Castle, IN,
the daughter of Charles and Etheleen McRoberts. She
married Glenn Halsey (deceased), a Navy veteran, on
March 2, 1946, and subsequently Carl Davis
(deceased) in 1991, and surviving spouse, Richard
"Dick" Fugate in 2011.
Besides her loving husband, Dick, survivors include
three daughters, Linda Brooks of Atlanta, Sandra
(Lee) Martin, Hoschton, GA, and Karen (Rick) Baxter,
Hendersonville, TN; and two sons, Rick (Janet)
Halsey and Mike Halsey, both of Atlanta. Wilma was
blessed with 12 grandchildren, 22
great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.
Her stepchildren include Larry (Jane) Fugate of
Pekin, Thomas (Jean) Fugate, Midwest City, OK,
Robin (Steve) Schrand, Breeze, and Gloria (Mike)
Fitchhorn, McLean. Preceding her in death were her
sister, Betty June Kindred of Atlanta, brother, Dale
(Beverly) McRoberts, Lincoln, and son-in-law Danny
Brooks, Atlanta. Her sister, Linda Charlene, passed
away at the age of two.
Wilma retired from Eaton Corporation in Lincoln
after 34 years of employment. A life-long member of
the Atlanta Christian Church and loving the Lord,
she attended Sunday services there with friends and
family members. |
An avid reader of the latest novels,
Wilma also wrote poetry and enjoyed activities such
as bowling, watching westerns and British comedies,
and playing cards and bingo with her friends. And of
course, everyone knew how much she enjoyed her
automobiles.
Over the years, having loved history,
sightseeing and touring, Wilma traveled frequently
with family and friends to a great number of states
in the mid-west, east, and south. Her favorite site
was Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello in Virginia.
Visitation is at the Atlanta Christian Church from
10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Friday, December 18,
2020, followed immediately by the funeral service at
11:00 a.m. Mr. Doug Maris will officiate. Burial
will be in the Atlanta Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the
Atlanta Christian Church Building Fund or the
Atlanta Library.
Final arrangements are entrusted with Quiram-Peasley
Funeral Home of Atlanta.
