Wilma C. Hart

Struthers - Wilma Hart passed peacefully into Heaven with her daughters and son-in-law by her side on Tuesday, September 3, 2024.

Struthers-Wilma was born on her family’s farm in Ft. Ashby, WV, a daughter to the late Eugene and Bertha Simpson Myers.

 In 1953, she married James Hart. They would soon move to Ohio, eventually settling in Struthers where they raised their three children. Her home was always open to her children and grandchildren’s friends. Wilma was a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a wonderful cook who could be counted on to make each person’s favorite meal or dessert for any occasion. 

Wilma spent more than 25 years working at Mike’s Party Shop, getting to know many of the neighborhood children and their families during that time. She made countless slushies for the kids going home from Sexton Street School. After retiring, Jim and Wilma enjoyed many winters in Venice, Florida making new friends and enjoying life at the beach. 

Wilma is survived by her daughters Debbie Horvath and Beckie (Steve) Evanson; her grandchildren, Eric (Shannon) Horvath, Jessica (Mike Gordon) Evanson, and Jackie (Larry Armes) Horvath; great-grandchildren Kellen and Reilly Horvath, Brynn Cappelli, and Colin Hallquist; former son-in-law James Woody Horvath; and Maggie and Desiree Evanson who became daughter and granddaughter in her heart. She is also survived by her sister, Beverly Bly; brothers, James (Colleen) Myers, and Bruce (Judy) Myers; and brothers-in-law, Bob (Mary) Hart and Jim Mauk; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Waiting to greet her in Heaven are her husband, Jim; son, Donald Hart; grandson, Jamie Evanson; her brothers, Gilbert and Delbert Myers; sisters-in-law, Shirley Brown and Betty Jane Mauk.
