Wilhelmina Packard

Wilhelmina Bertha Packard is a character from Disney's 2001 feature film Atlantis: The Lost Empire and its sequel. She is an elderly, sarcastic, chain-smoking radio operator. She was voiced by Florence Stanley.

Personality
Stanley felt that Packard was very "cynical" and "secure." He claimed that "she does her job and when she is not busy she does anything she wants."

History
She was born in 1856.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire
She was employed as the radio operator on the expedition. Mr Whitley thought highly of her, as he had her file on top of his documents alongside those of Sweet, Molière, Audrey and Vinny.

In her job as operator, she appeared very cynical, perpetually annoyed and often deepy sarcastic. She often tattles on her operating tools with some unknown friend, presumably also aboard the ship. In spite of her attitude she is highly competent and detects the noise of an approaching object underwater, which turns out to be the Leviathan. She survives the Leviathan's attack and travels along the group to Atlantis. During the trip to Atlantis, she has no interest in communicating or getting friendlier with Milo, like the rest of the group.

In Atlantis, she disappears for a while and isn't seen until Rourke doublecrosses Milo and Kida, where she appears alongside Rourke, apparently having turned into a villain. She doesn't follow Rourke and Sinclair into the cave where Kida merges with the giant crystal. After Rourke leads the expedition to leave with Kida, her colleagues all take Milo's side and stay behind with him, defying Rourke, and she in the end gives in as well, realizing the error of Rourke's ways, and remarking "we're all gonna die". She assists in the final battle and manages to survive, after which she travels back to America alongside her colleagues and a bulkload of treasure.

In her final scene she meets Whitmore. She is now dressed elegantly and like a rich lady would be dressed.

House of Mouse
Wilhelmina Packard only appeared in Dining Goofy.

Trivia

 * Packard was the last of Milo's group to abandon Rourke before he and Helga left Atlantis with it's heart and Kida.
 * The friend that she was chatting with, named Marge, during the journey was most likely on the ship as well, and thus died in the Leviathan attack. When rewatching the movie, note her disturbed expression as Sweet says his final goodbyes to their fallen comrades.
 * Coincidentally enough, while the first Atlantis marked the last role of actor Jim Varney due to him dying of cancer prior to that film's release, its sequel Milo's Return was actually ironically Florence Stanley's (Packard's voice actress) final role since she died a few months after that film was released.
