Wilma M. Sullivan, 86, of Clayton, passed away peacefully on March 29, 2025 surrounded by the love of her family. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend whose greatest joy in life was the people she loved. Family was always her priority, and she created a home filled with warmth, laughter, and unconditional love.

Wilma was a life-long member of the Plainfield Church of Christ and grounded in her faith. She loved to travel, listen to music and most of all, she loved spending quality time with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She also enjoyed volunteering at the Hazelwood Fish Fry, baking for family and friends, along with so much joy from their farm and all her beautiful flowers.
