She was born in Sanborn, Iowa to Arthur and Myrtle (Smith) Wells on March 6, 1920. She married James W. Hakeman in 1940. After retiring, Wilma and Jim moved to Arizona in 1984 to be closer to family.
Wilma enjoyed playing golf, card games, and she loved making ceramics. She was also a member of Kiwanis and Desert Palms Presbyterian Church, where she volunteered for many years.
