Wilma (Leyman) Beerman

Wilma H. (Leyman) Beerman, 80, of Orient, passed away on April 10, 2024 at her home in the loving care of her husband, James. She was born September 14, 1943 in Cincinnati to Henry and Augusta (Kohls) Leyman.  Wilma is survived by her soulmate and loving husband of 58 years, James Beerman, sons Timothy (Amy), Kevin (Shawn Steen) and Jeffrey (Samantha); brother Fred (Susan Abaecherli); sisters-in-law Audrey Regg, Louise Henry and Charlene (Don) Lehmkuhl; and grandchildren Trevor (Kaela) Beerman, Allyson (Casey) Cook, Grace Beerman, Nola Deribin, Maxwell Beerman and Owen Beerman.

Wilma was a 1961 graduate of Deer Park High School and a 1964 graduate of Good Samaritan School of Nursing in Dayton. In 2001, she retired as Director of Clinical Health Services for the Pickaway County Health Department and then later returned to work for Pickaway County Family and Children First Council from 2002 to 2008.

Wilma was a member of Pass-A-Grille Beach Community Church, Derby Garden Club and Peacemakers Quilters in Pass-a-Grille Florida.  She had a passion for working with children and gardening, but what she enjoyed most was spending time with her family and friends, attending her grandchildren’s sporting events and walking on the beach in Pass-a-Grille, Florida, where she spent winters.

A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, May 5th from 12:00 to 4:00 at Pinnacle Golf Club, 1500 Pinnacle Club Dr., Grove City, Ohio.   In lieu of flowers, donations in Wilma’s memory can be made to the Westfall Education Foundation, PO Box 83, Williamsport, OH 43164 or online at westfalleducationfoundation.org.
