Posted in:

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa — Wilma Virginia (Wiechelman) Berry, 87, Council Bluffs, Iowa, died Aug. 8, 2020, from Alzheimer’s Disease in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Per her wishes, there was no visitation nor graveside services.

Wilma was born Oct. 20, 1932, in Cedar County. She grew up in Hartington and moved to Omaha in 1950. Her husband Blaine Lee Berry, whom she married in 1959, died in 1978.

Wilma worked for Mutual of Omaha for many years. After retiring she moved to Fort Wayne, Ind., to pursue her avocation of genealogy, as well as working for Lincoln Financial. In 2004, she moved to Council Bluffs to help care for her brother, Duane, who also suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease.

She traveled extensively researching the Wiechelman, North and Haase families, discovering many relatives. She was a devoted supporter of animal welfare, reducing homelessness, and veteran’s aid.

She was preceded in death by her siblings Arthur, Irwin, Duane, Richard and Dennis. Blaine and Wilma had no children but were beloved by many nieces and nephews.

She is survived by her siblings, Mildred and Robert; and her brother-in-law, Glenn.
