Wilma was born June 3, 1937, to Henry and Mary Weinmeister. She was united in marriage with George Bott, Jr on November 17, 1957. She completed her GED in 1986 and went on to take college computer classes. In addition to working side-by-side with her husband on the farm, Wilma made certain children were delivered safely to school and back home for 40 years. She drove bus for Melbeta, Minatare, Gering and Scottsbluff. The Migrant Program was also on her bus schedule during the summer. She and George tandem drove sport activities and field trips.
Wilma’s passion for children did not stop with the bus, she also coached softball, directed the Awana group at church and was superintendent of the Sunday School. She was actively involved at Emmanuel Church, coordinating soup suppers, bake sales and pancake feeds. Her love language was food, and she will missed most for her raspberry jam.
