Wilma “LouEtte” Ivy Diesing, age 74, peacefully passed away on May 15th, 2026.

Born July 16th, 1951, in Little Rock, Arkansas, she was the beloved daughter of the late Verlie and Leonard Ivy. She was preceded in death by her husband, Dennis Diesing.

Wilma was a woman with a gentle spirit and a heart that found joy in life’s simple treasures. She loved flea markets, where she could wander for hours discovering hidden gems. She found comfort in old western films and spent countless peaceful afternoons tending to her yard, a place she nurtured with the same care she gave to the people around her.

Her compassion extended to animals of all kinds, and she devoted her time generously to the VFW, where her kindness, reliability, and steady presence touched many lives.

Wilma leaves behind a family who loved her deeply and will forever cherish her memory: her sister, Sherry Yates (Charles); her daughter, Theresa Ashcraft; her grandchildren, Daniel and Rebekah Ashcraft.

Her legacy lives on in the love she gave, the quiet strength she carried, and the gentle way she made the world a little softer for those lucky enough to know her.
