Wilma Jane (Kessler) Niedermier, age 91, of Tiro, Ohio, passed away in the comfort of her home on Thursday, May 6, 2021. She was born on April 15, 1930 in Auburn Township, Ohio to the late Amele and Edith (Schnarrenberger) Kessler. She was valedictorian of her 1948 graduating class from Tiro High School. She worked at The Shelby Depot prior to taking time off to raise her children. She also worked at the Shelby Mutual and sold Avon, before dedicating the rest of her career to selling insurance well into her 80's.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 65 years, James B. Niedermier. Surviving are their children, Allan (Mary) Niedermier of Tiro and Beth (Glynne) Davies of Westlake; five grandchildren, Joshua (Ashley) Niedermier, Jeffrey (Sage) Niedermier, Jason (Lauren) Niedermier, Braden and Nicole Davies; four great-grandchildren, James, Reagan, Tucker and Jameson Niedermier. Also surviving are one sister-in-law Laurena VanEertan and one brother-in-law Robert Niedermier, along with numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends and also special caregivers Laurie Thomas and her daughters Erica and Sarah and Peggy Brown and Charlene Price.

She was an active member of St. John's Lutheran Church, an avid member of the church choir, and the Golden Gems. Wilma was an extremely religous, social, and joyful person. She honored many people by sharing her beautiful voice at weddings, church services and annual Messiah. She also loved to bake cookies, not only for her family but for friends and those she sold insurance to. Every Christmas she would bake an average of 1000 cookies to share with family and friends. She will truly be missed by many and fondly remembered by all.
