Wilma L. Marugg ('52), Batavia, Ohio, She attended North Texas as a graduate student from 1949 to 1952. One day, she saw a flyer on the bulletin board from the Army Special Services looking for entertainers in Europe. She spent two years performing the piano for the troops, which helped her family pay bills and led her to meet her husband, Richard, in Nuremberg, Germany. She returned home and taught music in public schools for 11 years, then ran private lessons and served as church choir director. She loved classical music and, even as she lost her hearing in later years, would pop out her hearing aids and play the piano.
