Delores Lucille Gillman, lovingly known as "Wink," was born on March 7, 1934, in Connersville, Indiana, the cherished daughter of George and Leona Winklepleck (née Gloshen). On March 2, 1957, she married Joe Gillman at St. Michael Catholic Church, and together they created a life filled with love and family. She was a devoted member of St. Michael Catholic Church and had retired from Franklin County Community School Corporation. She was simply a person who loved. She loved her family, her friends, and all that life had to offer. She was an avid card player, enjoyed helping with church events and fundraisers, volunteered for Right to Life events, and was also a fan of IU basketball. She was very active and a true social butterfly who always gave so much of herself to family and friends.

On Friday, March 6, 2026, just one day shy of her 92nd birthday, Wink passed away peacefully at Harrison Trail Health Campus in Harrison, Ohio.

Wink's memory will be carried on by her children, Jeff Gillman (Pat Douglas), Jodi Gillman, Greg Gillman, and Eric (Robin) Gillman; seven grandchildren, Cole, Ashley, Brady, Landon, Owen, Grayson, and Joseph. In addition to her parents, Wink was preceded in death by her husband of over 44 years, Joe Gillman and her sister, Darlene Williams.
