Irene Wilson

GA – On April 11, 2016, Irene Wilson went to heaven to join her beloved husband, George A. Wilson. She was 90 years old.

Born on August 7, 1925 in Bucyrus, Ohio, Irene met and married George, and moved to Fort Valley while starting a family.

She leaves her memory behind with her devoted sons, Jo Wilson (Gail) of Bonaire, James Wilson of Warner Robins and Jan Wilson (Cristy) of Bonaire; granddaughters, Jaimi, Sunshine, Jessica, Kristi and Sara; 12 great-grandchildren; and other extended family.
