Bio
Wilma Jean (Stoehr) Vidlock, age 96, of Lincoln, Nebraska, passed away peacefully on April 27, 2025, at Cedar Creek Alzheimer's Special Care Center. Wilma was born on July 23, 1928, at Lincoln General Hospital in Lincoln, Nebraska, to Alexander and Sarah (George) Stoehr. She graduated from Lincoln High School in January 1947. Wilma furthered her education at the Lincoln School of Commerce, completing her studies in 1948. A devoted wife and mother, Wilma married the love of her life, Walter Wayne Vidlock, on April 18, 1948, at St. Paul's Evangelical Church in Lincoln. Together they built a life filled with love and joy, celebrating 63 wonderful years of marriage. In 1952, Wilma, Walter, and their young son, David, moved to Madison, Wisconsin, where Wilma later began her career. In 1973 she began working for the State of Wisconsin, and retired from WDOT-railroad division in 1990. In 1998, Wilma and Walter returned to Lincoln, Nebraska, to be closer to family. Wilma was a woman of strong faith and fellowship. She was a current member of Daughters of the Nile and First-Plymouth Congregational Church in Lincoln, Nebraska, and a former member of the United Church of Christ in Madison and Fitchburg, Wisconsin. Wilma was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Walter; her parents, Alexander and Sarah; and her sister, Ruthe Shephard. She is survived by her sons, David (Diane) of Cross Plains, WI, Gary (Janice) of Oshkosh, WI, and Robert (Debra) of Lincoln, NE; her grandchildren, Kyle (Catherine Marlow) of Edgerton, WI; Kari Oscar of Belvidere, IL, Connor (Hannah) of Omaha, NE, and Madison of Lincoln, NE; her sister, Donna Marks; and many cousin, nieces, nephews, and dear friends. A private family service will be held, and Wilma will be laid to rest next to her husband, Walter, at Wyuka Cemetery in Lincoln, Nebraska. The family expresses heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Cedar Creek Alzheimer's Special Care Center for their kind and compassionate care of Wilma throughout the years. The family would also like to thank the team at Endless Journey Hospice for their respectful assistance these last few months. Memorial contributions can be made to the Alzheimer's Association, Shriners Children's Hospitals, First-Plymouth Congregational Church of Lincoln, or the United Church of Christ in Fitchburg, Wisconsin.
