Wilma L. Satterlee, 97, lifetime resident of West Farmington, passed away peacefully at her home with her family by her side on Thursday, October 1, 2020.

They were married 74 years before he died July 1, 2015. They are now reunited “together again”.

Wilma worked in the Credit Department at Trumbull Memorial Hospital for years. She was a member of the Farmington United Methodist Church. She baked the best pineapple flopovers and pineapple pies and was famous for her rose garden. She would not flee from a burning building unless her make up was perfect.
