Named Wilda Medessa McDonald, christened Frances and husband Roy called her Billie. She and Roy had seven children, five who lived. At age 15 Wilda's child, Mary E. McDonald, was taken at birth by the Nuns and put up for adoption without her consent. She and Roy tried to find her but actually, Mary found Wilda by her birth certificate and sent a letter. Wilda and the two youngest children went to Indiana to visit Mary and found she had 5 children of her own. They stayed in contact until Wilda's death. Wilda was very proud of the fact that she picked the Cemetery, made all the funeral arrangements and paid for it herself. It is a steep climb to her grave but a beautiful view. Her headstone reads Frances W Ainsworth. The children lost at birth were Royden James Ainsworth, Jr and Mary Victoria Ainsworth.
