Margie Nell Wilson
March 18, 1934 - May 24, 2020
Margie Nell Williams Wilson,86, was born to Hettie Genevia Bean Williams and Fred X Williams on March 18, 1934 in
Gillsburg, MS. She left this earth on May 24, 2020 to obtain her heavenly reward. Graveside services will be Tuesday May 26, 2020 at the Old Gillsburg cemetery. Rev. Victor Walsh will officiate. Hartman Jones Funeral Home will be in charge of the arrangements.
She was passionate about many things but the list was topped by her love for Jesus Christ her Lord and Savior and her love for each and every family member. Her greatest hobby was hard work. She was the primary caretaker of the family dairy barn for almost 40 years while her husband, Princeton Wilson maintained public employment and took care of the fields. At 5 ft 4 inches she tackled those cows twice daily and won the battle but on two occasions they won, resulting in broken ribs and staph infection. She loved working, maintaining and canning a garden and doing the same in her beautifully maintained yard which took an equal amount of her passion. Her home was always spotless. If her children woke during the night they could find her baking a cake or pie for a friend that was under the weather; ironing or mopping her floors. She loved her community of Gillsburg and her church more than words can describe. She always had a great love for the community members but after a house fire destroyed all the belongings of the family, her memory of each and every person and any gift they gave the family to aid in recovery deepened her love for her friends. She spent little resources on herself and was so appreciate of anything gifted her. Margie was excellently skilled at handling the family finances and although they were limited at times her family never did without anything they needed and much of what they wanted. In 1971, the year after Disney World opened and to celebrate her first daughter high school graduation, she used the $500 she had saved and she and her husband took the family on a 7 day trip to Disney. It took careful planning and budgeting every step of the way, but she pulled it off. I've never known anyone to love babies more. Her face would light up anytime she came in contact with babies and no one could get a baby to sleep easier than her. We called her the baby whisperer. For numerous years Margie has suffered from multiple medical conditions and unable to work. Over these years she has repeatedly expressed
her desire to go to Heaven and see Jesus, her mama, daddy and husband. Today she is rejoicing.
She is Preceded in death by her loving Parents: Her loving husband of 62 years Wm . Princeton Wilson, her brother Dalton Williams SR. (Dorothy Jean) and one sister Annie Laurie Williams.
She leaves behind many that love her including one sister and four daughters: Opal Lanier (Lauren), LaWanda Smith
(Tommy), Patsy Brown, Janell Harvey (Ron), and Tracey Cameron. Eleven grandchildren Cameron Wyland, Dewayne
Weaver (Tyffany); Chasity Mercer; Courtney Riley (Dusty); Raven Maynard (Zane); Laurie Johnston (James); Melissa;
Ryan Harvey, Erin Rape Hannah Swartz (Michael) and Joshua Harvey and fifteen great grandchildren, along with numerous other relatives and a host of friends.
