Arizona Birth Certificate
Mabel Rogers Wilhelm was born Oct. 2, 1922, to John and Mary Rogers. She grew up in Snowflake, Arizona, and married Carl LeRoy Wilhelm March 26, 1942. They had seven children.
Daughter, Sweetheart, Mother, and Friend: these were her most cherished roles. Mabel was quiet and self-effacing, with rock-solid faith which never wavered, even through adversities.
She loved the beauties of nature, family outings, dancing, working at the public library, making fudge, going for rides, smelling lilacs and roses, and raising kids.
Mabel died on April 22, 2012. Some things Mabel enjoyed doing: going for a ride, making friends, drinking a Coke, sharing Hershey's chocolate kisses, going for another ride, dancing, riding a bike, and making squash pies with whipped cream.
