Throughout her later career, she worked as a Sales Professional on and off, eventually finishing off and retiring as a Sales and Marketing Representative at Ron Turley Associates. Willa was a take-charge professional with excellent negotiation, motivation, and communication skills. She retired to take care of her oldest granddaughter until Kaelyn turned six months old. They spent each day together then and several shopping trips after! Willa is survived by her brother, Gary Aicon (Evelyn - sister-in-law, Terra, Kerrie, Kayla - nieces), her daughter, Kristie Peruch, son-in-law Chris Peruch, and her two adored granddaughters, Kaelyn and Lizzy. Willa was preceded in death by her parents and nephew, Zeb. Willa was a devoted mother and grandmother who treasured spending time with her family, especially playing with her grandkids. Willa had a big heart and always loved to serve others, helping whenever she could. She particularly enjoyed cooking meals for those in need, as well as for her family. She was known for her delicious flour tortillas and Lefsa. Her family and friends always loved her food deliveries. Willa was active and always bustling around the house, cleaning and working in the yard, and had an abundance of energy. In addition to her love for her family, Willa had a green thumb, loved growing plants and gardening, going to casinos, and spending time at the beach. She had a special place in her heart for dogs and loved spending time with the Lord at church and in the Bible. Willa will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved her. Her kind and giving spirit is a legacy that will spread and grow among her family and friends as they remember her.
