- Wilma Law, age 94, passed away peacefully at her home near Greenleaf on November 4, 2010. Wilma was born on April 15, 1916 to Jennie LaVern Druliner Miller Gahley and F. William Gahley in the Ten Davis community between Notus and Parma, Idaho. She attended the schools in the Parma area, and went to Business College in Boise. She worked for the Compton Transfer Company in Boise for two and a half years before her marriage on October 22, 1938 to Paul J. Law of Wilder, Idaho. They made their home in the Greenleaf area, where she has resided for the last 72 years. In 1960, Wilma worked for the Canyon School District 139 and continued there for 21 years, serving as clerk of the district. Wilma loved her home and family. She enjoyed people and appreciated her many friends. She also enjoyed hunting, fishing, picking huckleberries, playing bridge, entertaining friends and family, and attending various events at the Homedale Senior Center. She was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star since December 17, 1941 and was a past Matron.
Wilma is survived by her son, Robert S. and Gloria Law of Wilder, and her grandson, Tyler R. and Lindsay Law. She was preceded in death by her husband, Paul in 1987; an infant daughter, Janet Kay; her parents; a half-brother, Winston Miller; and a half-sister, Madge Miller Spaeth.
On October 26, 1993 Wilma and a 1928 school friend, Earl Jameson, renewed their friendship after each had had happy and loving marriages, and wanted to spend the remainder of their lives together. They spent many happy years together living and traveling until Earl's death in 2002.
The family wishes to thank Hearts for Hospice for their caring assistance and support. Memorial donations may be sent to the Wilder United Methodist Church or the Homedale Senior Center.
