Wilma was born on August 13, 1924, to Willoughby “Bud” Pugh and Emma (Hollingsworth) Pugh in Reed, Oklahoma. She married the love of her life, Coy Brown on July 20, 1941. Wilma graduated from Vinson High School in 1942. Following high school, the Brown family made their home on the farm where Wilma was a devoted farmer’s wife. Wilma worked on the farm picking cotton and any jobs that needed to be done. Wilma loved being outside so she could tend to her garden. She was very active and up until a few years ago she was still mowing her own grass and even tending to home repairs. She also loved to crochet, sew, volunteer at her church, and bake sweets any chance she could. A large part of her life was devoted to her Lord and savior Jesus Christ. She was a prayer warrior for her friends, family, and her church. She spent many hours in devotion and was always eager to help the church. She was a long-standing member of Trinity Baptist Church and recently became a new member of The Lighthouse Church in Mangum.
