IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Wilma L.
Larsen

May 15, 1941 — Jan 28, 2026

Obituary

Wilma L. Larsen, daughter of the late George Warren and Reva (Alcorn) Warren, was born in St. Louis, Missouri on May 15, 1941. She departed this life on January 28, 2026 at the age of 84.

On June 12, 1960, in Ellington, Missouri, Wilma was united in marriage to James (Jim) Rhodes and to this union two daughters were born.

Wilma and Jim divorced after 26 years of marriage and on July 1, 1988, in Ellington, Missouri, Wilma was united in marriage to Kenneth Larsen, bringing two step-sons into her life.

Wilma developed a passion for painting after retirement. She also loved birds and her roses. Her paintings hang in the homes of many family members and will serve as a constant reminder of her love.

Wilma was preceded in death by her parents, both husbands, one precious sister, two brothers-in-law, one nephew, and many friends.

Wilma is survived by her two daughters, DeeAnna Freeman and husband Alan of O'Fallon, Missouri, and Dawna Burrow and husband Jef of Ellington, Missouri, two sisters, Georganna Hughes of O'Fallon, Missouri and Linda Warren of St. Peters, Missouri, one brother, George Warren of O'Fallon, Missouri, very dear nieces and nephew, and bonus children David and Sherry Brawley of Ellington, Missouri.

Wilma's greatest pride were her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She is survived by four grandchildren, Jarrod Freeman of St. Louis, Missouri, Amanda Barton of O'Fallon, Missouri, Damon Burrow and wife Briana of Durham, North Carolina and Korey Burrow and girlfriend Sydney Schwartz of Kansas City, Missouri, two great grandchildren, Grayson and Riley Barton of O'Fallon, Missouri, and several other family members and friends who will celebrate her having been a part of their lives.

A most heartfelt thank you and appreciation for your expressions of love and support during this time of grief.
