From that marriage her two children were born. She is survived by her son, Vic Wimsett Jr. of Galion, Ohio and her daughter, Peggy Adair of Tilton.

She graduated eighth grade from Fayette, a one room school south of Catlin and from Catlin High School in 1927. She retired from Sears Roebuck and Co. in 1974 after 28 years. She was a lifelong member of the Vermilion County Museum, as well as a member of Calvary Baptist Church since 1944, where she was active in many ministries and working in the flower beds until she was 90. Opal was blessed with many friends, a caring family who took care of her until 2008 when she entered Vermilion Manor.
