Wilma Faith Murphy Sherman

Wilma Faith Murphy Sherman, 90, of Paducah, Ky. We lost our mother, Sunday, Apr. 23, just a month before her 91 birthday. A loyal wife, mother, and career nurse who gained her degree in Des Moines, Iowa and went on to work in Chicago at Cook County Hospital. She was a field nurse in the polio epidemic in early 50's and retired from the VA Hospital in Little Rock after decades of dedicated nursing. Wilma was a woman of great kindness, faith, and character. She lost her husband, Frank Hartford Sherman, of Stafford, Kan., in 1967. She is survived by her daughter, Charlotte E. Sherman of Paducah, Ky., her son Mark H. Sherman of Neola, Kan., daughter Jeanne R. Guidi of Jackson, Tenn., grandson Adam H. Sherman of Salida, Colo., and sister Lorna Ruth Agard of Ankeny, Iowa. Memorials for friends and family will be held Oct. 8 in Little Rock, Ark., and Oct. 10 in Arlington, Kan. Please contact Charlotte at (270) 331-2185 for information. In lieu of flowers we would suggest a donation in her name to the Alzheimer's Association or to Heifer International.
