WINDHAM – Roberta “Betty” Kimball Wyman, 92, passed away on Friday, Oct. 25, 2019. She was born on Nov. 15, 1926, the daughter of Robert and Mary (Page) Smith.
Betty grew up in Windham and was a graduate of Windham High School in the class of 1945.

Betty loved going to the beach, listening to music and dancing. She enjoyed traveling and like a true Mainer, enjoyed a good lobster roll. On April 1, 1993, she married Ira Wyman Jr., and the two shared 25 years of wonderful companionship until his passing in October of last year.
Famous for her silver footwear, Betty loved loaning out her collection to her grandchildren for their special occasions.
