Wilma Adalene Boyce Schnur died peacefully, in her home, on Wednesday, the 6th of March 2013 in the company of her caregivers.
Wilma was born in Alief on the 29th of June 1917, and she was proud of her large family and 'country' heritage. She was preceded by her parents; most of her sisters and brothers; her son, Joe Parnell; and her husband, Dr. Sidney Schnur. She is survived by her sister, Bunny Stockebrand; her grandchildren, Emily Cantrell & husband Greg, George Parnell; and the grandchildren's mother, Pam Parnell. She is also survived by many nieces & nephews, who have been caring & supporting companions to her, over the years.
Wilma was well educated, and worked as a registered surgical nurse for many years. She met her husband, Dr. Schnur, in that capacity. They led a happy life together and were very caring of Joe & his children. Wilma was involved in neighborhood beautification, planting trees in parks and other projects. She loved the natural beauty of the area. And she loved the neighborhood critters – dogs, cats and birds – and would always feed them.
She led a wonderful life, fortunate to be able to live in her home until her death.
In lieu of customary remembrances, and for those desiring, contributions in Wilma's memory may be directed to the Wildlife Center of Texas, 7007 Katy Rd, Houston, Texas, 77024; or any animal-friendly charity of your choice.
