Gladys Harris Wilson, daughter of the late Leroy A. and Mary J. Wade Harris, was born in Hartford CT on Sept. 1, 1917. She was married to Arthur H Wilson Sr., M.D. and lived in Windsor CT for the last 40 years. Mrs. Wilson attended Hartford Public Schools and Virginia State University. She was a member of Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion Church, where she taught Church School and was a former member of the Carrie T. Wilson Missionary Society. In addition, she was a former member of the Windsor Human Relations Commission, a former Justice of the Peace, notary public, and a member of Alpha wives.
Besides her husband of 50 years, she leaves two daughters, Jane A Wilson of Groton MA, Charlotte E. Wilson of Waterbury CT; a brother, Lawrence Harris of Hartford; three sisters, Edythe DeLoach of Rocky Hill, Barbara Nappier of Hartford, Betty Hall of Bloomfield. She was predeceased by a son, Arthur H. Wilson Jr.; a brother, Joseph A Harris and a sister, Juanita Hayes.

"She was a very loving and devoted mother and wife who made many sacrifices. Not only was she a terrific mother, but she was a great friend. She was always sought out by many for advice. Consequently, she adopted an extended family of sons and daughters.
Even though she will be sorely missed by all of us, it's comforting and peaceful to know that our mother and wife, is with the Lord, and she's at rest."
Arthur, Jane, and Charlotte Wilson
