Wilma was born Sept. 18, 1936, in Pryor, to William and Victoria Masterson. She attended Pryor Grade School and went on to graduate from Edgar High School. She married her longtime sweetheart, Donnie J. Lande (DJ), and together they had one daughter, Vickie May Lande. They engaged in ranching as a family with D.J.’s parents, George and Annie Lande, until D.J.’s passing in 1977. Wilma and Vickie continued to run the ranching operation until 1985, when C.R. Boucher ventured north to live and work on the ranch. C.R. and Wilma lived happily together for 29 years.
Wilma was known for many things, most notably being her skill as a gardener, her world-famous cooking and hospitality, and of course her fierce independence.
She is preceded in death by her father, William; mother Victoria; sister Blanche; and her husband D.J. She is survived by her partner C.R. Boucher; daughter Vickie MacCarty; grandson Wylie Warneke; granddaughter Ali Gauger; great-granddaughters Brooke Warneke and Gwendolyn Gauger; close nieces Gail Indreland and Terry Kane; and many close extended family members.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Chase Hawks Memorial Association and Coles Western Wishes. Services will be at 2 p.m. Friday, Dec. 12, at Michelotti-Sawyers, 1001 Alderson Ave., with a celebration of life to follow at Gusicks Restaurant.
