Irene joined her huge family that was awaiting her in their heavenly home.
She was the twelfth child of a family of fifteen children born to G.C. Martin and Lula Frances Kidd Martin.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Arlie Wilson; children, Patsy Lamberti, Sandra Harris and Kevin Wilson; brothers, Oscar, GC, Jr., Jack, Ernest, Raymond, Harold and Baby Martin; sisters, Lora Watson, Flora Neal, Cora Shirley, Wanda Wittliff, Bernice Lively, Joyce Gregory, and Inez Veevers and a grandson, Jared Wilson.
She is survived by son, Michael Wilson (Clara); 12 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren.
When her family moved to Palestine in 1940, they attended Lone Pine Baptist Church, where she was a longtime member, always eager to help wherever she was needed. She worked with the children in Bible school and taught numerous Sunday School classes and teenage night classes.
She was known for her yard of beautiful flowers. Her mother also had flowers and Irene transplanted many of those to her own yard after her mother died in 1957. She kept them growing all these years as a memory of her dear mother.
Services were held at the Chapel of the Air at Land of Memory Cemetery with pastor Ron Sloan officiating.
