Wilma Lee McDaniel Couch, age 82, passed away on Monday, July 7, 2025. Born on October 3, 1942, she was a devoted homemaker whose life revolved around her cherished family and activities that brought her joy.

Throughout her life, Wilma demonstrated a deep commitment to her loved ones. She found great happiness in watching daytime soap operas, keeping her home clean, relaxing on her porch, and especially in spending quality time with her children, grandchildren, and a host of great-grandchildren. Her beloved dogs, Star and Baby also held a special place in her heart, often accompanying her during those quieter moments at home.

Farler; and four sisters, Jenny Sturgill, Betty Wells (Larry), Brenda Sizemore, and Judy Fletcher. Her legacy also continues through her thirteen grandchildren, Makayla Couch, Brandi Koogle, Randi McDaniel, Tyler Couch, Hannah Couch, B.J. Couch, Jacob Couch, Jered Couch, Emily Couch, Tony Williams, Patty Williams, Tonya Farler, and Kayla Farler, along with a host of great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews who survive her.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Delmer McDaniel and Allie Mitchell McDaniel; her husband, Harlan Couch; two sons, Bill Couch and Harlan Jr. Couch; one grandson, Travis Couch; as well as two sisters, Helen and Linda; and four brothers, Johnny, James, Kenny Wayne, and Coleman.

Wilma's spirit and warmth touched the lives of many who knew her. As we remember her, it is with a profound sense of gratitude for the love and kindness she shared throughout her life. Her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
