Wilma Agnes Hrdlicka was born on January 21, 1935 in rural Spillville, IA to Frank and Rose (Milota) Hrdlicka. Wilma was united in marriage to Arnold “Arnie” Sobolik on September 19, 1955 at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Protivin, IA and to this union, five children were born. Wilma spent her life as a farm wife, helping out Arnold wherever she was needed. Prior to getting married, she worked at the Elms Cafe in Cresco. She enjoyed gardening, flowers, polka music, watching Wheel of Fortune, talking on the phone, baking, and cooking. Some of her favorite things to make were banana chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and dumplings. She would feed anybody who was hungry, including animals. In addition to her many hobbies, she was also a member of the VFW Ladies Auxiliary. Wilma’s greatest joy in life was her family and pets and she always made sure to spoil her grandkids. She will be remembered for her warm, loving soul, her large collection of roosters and chickens, and always having her freezer stocked with items from Schwan’s.

Wilma is survived by her children Dennis (Deb) Sobolik of Cresco, Betty (Daniel) Wilson of Wabasha, MN, Kevin (Diana) Sobolik of Lime Springs, IA, Randy (Tootie) Sobolik of Cresco, and Nancy (Kevin) Pecinovsky of Cresco; grandchildren Dustin Sobolik of Swea City, IA, Derek (Christy) Sobolik of Cresco, Bobbi Jo Hammon (Daniel Walker) of Ironwood, MI, Brandon (Shannon) Pecinovsky of Preston, MN, Hayley Sobolik (Matt Coffey) of Cresco, Walker Sobolik of Lime Springs, and Nicole Pecinovsky of Cresco; great-grandchildren Aslynn, Harper, Teague, Emerson, and Brooklyn; and “granddogs” Comet and Stella.

Wilma was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Arnold Sobolik in December 1996, a sister Adella Kostohryz, and a brother Leonard Hrdlicka.
