Wilma Love, 81, from Paris

On July 3, 2024, Wilma Love, 81, of Paris, Texas, passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her loving family. She was born on July 30, 1942 in Brownfield, Texas.

Surviving are her daughters: Kristi Love, Kelly Love and Holly Love-Henderson. Grandchildren: Emme Love, Morgan Lamb-Drake, Bay Lamb, Bethany Love-Roberts, Brittany Thompson, Jordon Love and several great-grandchildren. She is also survived by two sons-in-law, Kendall Holback and Matt Henderson.

She was preceded in death by her parents, a son, Weldon Love Jr., a daughter, Sue Thompson-Parr, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

Mom spent her time sitting outside in the sun, watching game shows, cooking for her family, having unforgettable conversations at the dinner table, sometimes laughing so hard your stomach hurt, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. Jazzy and Chevy, our fur babies, never left her side. I know she would want her family to continue creating memories together. The funny stories that have happened over the years are some of the best.

Over the last two years, Wilma spent a lot of time with her future daughter-in-law, Brandy Jones. The bond they built and the time they spent together getting to know each other was very special. There was nothing she wouldn’t do for Mom. When she said, “I need you,” Brandy dropped everything and said, “I’m on my way, Mom.” Watching them spend their final days together was precious.

Mom, we will carry your memory in our hearts forever. Never stop dancing while cooking with your loved ones. Mom not only laughed, but also loved to dance.

Please pray for our family. We would like to express our deepest gratitude and appreciation to Morgan, Diana, Jennifer and Lauren at Waterford Hospice. Thank you for being so kind and caring to our mom.
