Wilma Allene Cronover Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Coleman Funeral Home of Olive Branch Mrs. Wilma Allene “Irish” (Pillow/Girtman) Cronover, 85, of Horn Lake, MS, formerly of Michigan and Arkansas, passed away peacefully at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Southaven, MS, Tuesday, December 17, 2019. A memorial service will be held at a later date in Alger, MI. There are no local arrangements. Mrs. Cronover was born on June 30, 1934, in Truman, AR, to Seldon and Myrtle Pillow. She moved to Pontiac, MI, in 1955, and she later lived in Alger, MI. Mrs. Cronover worked at Hudson’s for many years as a tailor, and was a talented seamstress, dressmaker, and cook. She was very active in the PTA of the schools her children attended and was voted Mother of the Year in the 1970’s. Mrs. Cronover was known to be an amazing hostess, and she was the happiest when her house was filled with family and friends. She is the beloved mother to Cindy Carroll, Billy (Chris) Girtman, Susie (Stan) Thyot, and Patty (D.J.) Upton; the much-loved “Nini” to her grandchildren, Joshua (Marcey) Carroll, Randi Kent, Jessica (Mike) Chon, Jacob Girtman, Jonathan Girtman, Kyle Upton, and John (Evan) Upton; and her great-grandchildren, Charly, Zoe, Julia, Ronnie, Victoria, Emmett, Payton, Paxton, Noah, Elijah, Andrew, and Karis. She was our “super-mom” who could do anything. She will be missed more than words can express. She is also survived by her brother, Bob (Sue) Pillow of Corning, AR; many nieces and nephews; great-nephew, Jason Harrell; her best friend, Bessie Fielder; her friend and recent neighbor, Ann Snowden; and many other friends and extended family members. She was preceded in death by her beloved, Clyde E. Cronover “Swede”; one grandchild, Jason Carroll; four brothers, Raymond, J.W., Lloyd, and James Pillow; and one sister, Lula Mae.
