Mrs. Wilson was born August 14, 1930, in Natchez, grew up in Wilkinson County, and was a 1948 graduate of Beech Stand High School. She retired after many years of service from Sears Parts Department. She was a charter member of Grace United Methodist Church where she was active in United Methodist Women for many years.

She is survived by her children, Janet Wilson, Anona Boyte, Sallie Draper (Kevin) and her special son, Richard Byrd; her nine grandchildren, Laura Hausen (Jeff), Zach Byrd (Wendy), Jack Byrd (Megan), Hannibal Hawkins (Cam), Tanner Boyte, Melissa Boyte (Garrett), Stanley Draper (Stephanie), Luke Draper (Maria), and Benjamin Draper; her seven great-grandchildren, Chelsie, Autumn, Skyler and Athan Hausen, Haley Dudik (Jacob), Layton and Leah Byrd; her two great-great-grandchildren, Ardon Carter and Juniper Dudik; her brother-in-law and sisters-in-law, Benny Jack Wilson (Billie Sue), Madeline Carter and Pearl Carter; and her many cousins, nieces and nephews.

The family wishes to thank the loving staff of Magnolia Village, Natchez and Grand Manor, Monticello, AR for their care of our sweet mama.
