Obituary of Wilma G. Falco

Wilma G. Falco of Southbury, CT, died Friday, May 24, 2024, at the Cascades Assisted Living Facility in Bethel, CT.

Wilma was born on February 5, 1926, in the Bronx, N.Y. to the late George and Caroline Koerber.

She was a graduate of Christopher Columbus High School in the Bronx, N.Y. in 1944. Wilma then attended Our Lady of Perpetual Help Business School and, upon graduation, worked at Mount Saint Ursula High School as an executive assistant to the principal of the academy from 1945-1946.

Wilma’s career was short-lived since she married the love of her life and childhood sweetheart, Anthony Falco, in 1947. Her career after that consisted largely of being a dedicated and loving homemaker to her husband and two children, Georgette (Fred) of Port St. Lucie, Florida, and Randy (Susan) of Bedford, N.Y. She also was a devoted daughter and caregiver to her mother and father who lived with all of us in the loving home Wilma created. A home filled with laughter, music, good books and lots of rich German food.

Wilma also devoted her entire life to the service of others volunteering countless hours to schools as a guidance counselor, to her local parish as a member of the vestry and to a number of charitable endeavors in Heritage Village, winning the, “Volunteer of the Year” Award in Southbury.

Wilma leaves behind her beloved grandchildren Diana, Michael, Danielle, Matthew, and Jessica. With great delight, she lived long enough to enjoy her great-grandchildren Luke, Caroline, Anthony, Jake, and Maren.
