Hank Henry was Willma's step-father.
Wilma loved her family and she loved picking pecans! She couldn't stand to see pecans left on the ground. Even when under doctors orders not to do so, she was "caught" picking pecans so she could make spiced pecans. She also loved to give Chex mix a kick by adding cayenne pepper. She was a kind and caring woman.

On September 28, 1957, he married Wilma Grace Weber in Enid, Oklahoma. Together they had five children. Two of the children died in infancy.
The family settled in Lovington, New Mexico. Charles and Wilma lived in New Mexico until 2008. They then moved to Texas where he was living at the time of his death.
Charles had a great mind for meticulous detail which helped to make him a wonderful storyteller. He had a deep voice, a wonderful smile and ready laugh.
Charles Ruel Kuhlemeier died the Saturday before Easter, April 3, 2010, in Temple, Texas. A lifelong Presbyterian, his Service of Witness to the Resurrection was held at First Presbyterian Church in Temple, Texas, on Saturday, April 10, 2010.
