You KNEW that just by that smile on every picture posted here that Mrs. Wilson had a great spirit. It was a privilege to be in her company as she truly enjoyed any and all conversation. RIP Mrs. Wilson, it was an honor knowing you.
Gloria was a woman of great beauty. She enjoyed life and always ready for get togethers with family and friends. Loved a good party. Our friendship was the best gift Gloria gave me and I will treasure it forever. I will miss you. Love, Janet

Your mom was a faith-filled, loving person who radiated joy to everyone she met. My sister treasured the gift of her friendship for many years. May you be blessed and comforted by the wonderful memories your mom has left.
The Wilson's are a loving, giving family. From such a tree, such limbs. You have left a legacy. Sleep in peace with the angels🌹
What a Great Lady. RIP Aunt Glo. Patsy Heffron Stewart.
Carol, John, Amy and Chris, I’m so sorry for your loss. Your mom was the best. It’s only fitting that she should be the last of her generation in our family. Growing up I always looked forward to family get togethers especially at your house where there were Wilson’s and Bohannons everywhere. That meant there would be smiles and laughs everywhere. Aunt Glo always made me feel happy just by her presence. She was a blessing in my life. Again, I am sorry for your loss.
