I have so many memories of Onita, as my father , Spencer Wilcox, worked with her for so many years. She was truly his partner in business. My sincere sympathy to the family.
We were so saddened to hear of Onita’s passing. She was our first Sunday School teacher back in 1976. We found her to be a “real lady” – always classy. Our prayers are with Wayne, Steven and family.
Many memories of Onita and Wayne will remain with me.I am saddened to learn of her passing only today. We met while members of AARP in Vienna, traveled together on trips one memorable one to the Newseum while it was still in Roslyn, VA. We had pictures taken with Diane Rehm during her live broadcast and that picture is now displayed on the wall at Vienna Community Center. My prayers are with the family, She was a dear, sweet lady.
