aise their three children, Randy, Steve & Sheri, with patience, discipline and humility. From the very beginning, he dedicated his children to God and encouraged them to explore the beauty and truth of God's deep love for them. Wilmer was a people-lover at heart. He was kind and soft-spoken, and always had time to give of himself whenever he saw a need. He and his wife volunteered at many church and community organizations, assisting many who were less fortunate. As the youngest of his siblings, he is remembered with great fondness by all his nieces and nephews, many of whom were not that much younger than he. He is dearly missed by all his family and many friends who celebrate the fact that he is at peace with his Creator. Wilmer is survived by his wife, Evelyn; his children Randy (Colleen) Zehr of Sun Prairie, WI, Steve (Susie) Zehr of Lakeville, MN and his daughter, Sheri O'Brien of Gilbert, AZ; his granddaughters Ashley Robinson, Heather Zehr, Alaina Bresette, Kate Zehr, Allison Robertstad and Emily O'Brien; and eight great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents and five siblings. We also want to thank the wonderful staff at Hyland Crossings Memory Care in Sun Prairie, WI for the overwhelming care and love expressed to both Wilmer and Evelyn while he was a resident with them; and to Agrace Hospice in Madison, WI who was truly a God-send over the last months of Wilmer's life.
