Jan 2nd, 1931 - Oct 21st, 2017Wilma L. Bullard Lowe, age 86, of Flora, Illinois, passed away Saturday evening, October 21, 2017, at Good Samaritan Hospital in Mt. Vernon.

Bullard (wife Kimberly) of Rinard, and Brent Bullard of Flora; 2 grandchildren: Jonathan Bullard (wife Lisa) and Jennifer Collins (husband Roger); 2 great-grandchildren: Stacie and Kylie; 3 step-great-grandchildren: Roger, Alyssa, and Nadia; a sister: Gale Birkes (husband—the late Bill) of Monahans, Texas; as well as a niece, in-laws, and cousins.
