Twila was born at home, in Waubeek, Iowa, on July 22, 1935, to Ralph and Ann (Henry) Pederson. She grew up in Waubeek and Central City before settling with her family in Springville. Twila graduated from Springville High School in 1953, where she was a cheerleader and played in the band. On November 1 1953, Twila married Ray Wyman of Central City at the Springville United Methodist Church. Together, they raised two sons, Doug and Todd. Twila was a member of the Springville Rebekah Lodge.
Twila worked as a bookkeeper at Martin-Rosa Caterpillar out of high school, and later as the Clerk for the City of Springville. In 1998, Twila retired from Norrell, where she also worked as a bookkeeper. Twila and Ray enjoyed summers spent fishing at their cabin in Waupeton and around their pool, where countless little ones learned to swim. Twila was a proud fireman’s wife, mother and grandmother for over 50 years.
Twila is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Ray; and her sons, Doug (Kim) and Todd (Jennifer) all of Marion. Also surviving are her two sisters, Roxie (Dennis) Popper of The Villages, Florida, Mareta “Butch” Ralston (Douglas) of Springville; and cousin, Jean (Jim) Menster of Springville. Twila will be dearly missed by her grandchildren, Cal (Kristin), Curt (Caiti), Cassi (Alan Wilhelm) and Katie Wyman; great-grandchildren, Trevor, Avery, Wyatt, Landen, Kinnick, and Kayden; and several nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Ralph and Ann Pederson; in-laws, Lumir and Eleanor Wyman; sister, Charlene Clark; brother-in-law, Leon Wyman; and nephews, Marty Clark, and Lance and Matthew Ralston.
In lieu of flowers, memorials should be directed to the family in Twila’s memory.
