Wilhelm, Pat

"Patricia Wilhelm, 84, of Marianna passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 8, 2026 in Memphis, Tennessee. Burial was at Spring Creek Cemetery in Aubrey, Arkansas.
She was born on November 24, 1941, to R. G. Peace and Ellen Bond Peace in Forrest City, Arkansas. She is survived by her husband of sixty-nine years, Robert ''Bob'' Wilhelm, of the home, and one son, Ed Wilhelm. She is preceded in death by her parents. She enjoyed Fair Poultry and loved to make dolls."

Pat Wilhelm lived on the old family farm, where she enjoyed a lifestyle reminiscent of “the good old days” in the country. She joined the Guild in the early 1970’s, bringing to life the old patterns that belonged to her Granny. Pat has been known to cut her own patterns when someone wanted a special order. Each toy Pat created was unique, no two alike. Pat worked out of her home in Marianna, creating her beloved “sock monkey” and other “sock critters” with her own two hands.
