OTHELLO, Wash. - Wilma Marie Koelzer, 82 passed away Wednesday November 17, 2011, at Kadlec Medical Center following a stroke.

Her love will be felt for eternity by her family and friends. She will never be forgotten and her presence will be felt by all those whose lives she touched and changed. She has been released from her body so she can live for eternity in our thoughts, hopes, dreams, and can return to her true love in the kingdom of heaven.
