    Notes 
    • Aileen Rilla Estrem-Wiggins went to meet her Lord Jesus on July 15, 2020, at the age of 89. Born in Flint, Michigan, Aileen moved to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in 1939 with her mother and brothers.

      At a young age, Aileen was introduced to a Christian family. Before long, she fell in love with Jesus and was baptized in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 1940.

      Aileen grew up and graduated from high school in Cedar Rapids. Shortly after high school she met and married Arland. They had six children together over 21 years. They spent 32 years together to prepare their children for their own families.

      Her hobbies were raising her six children, cooking, baking, gardening, golfing, and serving others.
      The family spent most of their years in the Decorah, Iowa area.

      Aileen’s life has always been centered around helping others, as evidenced by the time she trudged through deep snowdrifts to assist a neighbor deliver a baby.

      Arland preceded Aileen in death.

      Aileen became a Licensed Practical Nurse in Iowa at age 61.

      She moved to Tulsa and later married George Wiggins until George passed away. Moving to Springfield, Missouri, she had a caring and close relationship to Joe Trausdale.

The children, David (Dixie) Estrem (1949), Cynthia Skatrud (1952), Scott Estrem (1954) and Lisa Melgren, Jon Estrem (1961), Brad (Lori) Estrem (1963), and Stacey (Andrew) Johnstone (1969) have been greatly blessed by their mother’s life.
