Wilma Haun

Wilma Fern Haun, formerly of Springfield, Missouri, died on September 11, 2024, in Stockton, Missouri at the Lake Stockton Healthcare Facility. She was born on May 19, 1933, in Keytesville, Missouri to W. C. McNeall & Hazel (Fletcher) McNeall. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Donald Haun, her youngest son, Daryl Haun, great-granddaughter, Willah Godwin, her sister, Juanita (McNeall) Pearman, and her sister-in-law, Wanda (Smith) McNeall.

Wilma and Donald were married on August 6, 1954. To their union of 55 years, four children were born: Malissa Lokey (Tom), Larry Haun (Sally), Dwight Haun (Verna), and Daryl Haun (Becky). Wilma and Donald made their home in Braymer, Albany, Plattsburg, and finally, Springfield, Missouri.

Wilma is survived by three children: Malissa Lokey, Larry Haun, and Dwight Haun and her 13 grandchildren: David Lokey, Heather (Lokey) Muirhead, Aaron Lokey, Melody (Lokey) Godwin, Tristan Haun, Mallory Haun, Ian Haun, Barrett Haun, Kendall Haun, Grant Haun, Micheal Haun, and Lora (Haun) Daniels. Wilma is also survived by 27 great-grandchildren, by her brother, Donald McNeall, and her brother-in-law, Denny Pearman.

Wilma loved children. In addition, to being a homemaker, she taught pre-school in Plattsburg, Missouri for many years. Wilma truly had the gift of teaching little ones which lasted her lifetime.

Wilma accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and Lord at a young age. She was active in her church teaching Sunday School and Vacation Bible School, participating in Women’s Missionary Union, serving on church committees, and singing in the church choir.

There was nothing more important to Wilma than her relationship with the Lord. That relationship was reflected in her sweet, positive spirit that made her loved by so many. Wilma spoke wisdom and kindness, watched diligently over the ways of her household, and her children and grandchildren call her blessed because of her fear of the Lord.
