Marjorie "Margie" Leola Wilson, 84, passed away on April 6, 2021, peacefully in her sleep in her home in Sioux Falls, SD. She was born on a farm in Beresford, SD, December 17, 1936, to Theresa and John Fitzgerald, the youngest girl of thirteen children. She graduated from Beresford High School in 1955 and went on to obtain her teaching degree from General Beadle State Teachers College in Madison, SD, in 1959. She married Louis Wilson on June 21, 1961, who passed October 12, 2011. They mothered two sons, Louis (Luke) and Jon.
Margie was always dedicated above all to her Catholic faith. Since joining Christ the King in 1960 there was never a luncheon or special event at the church that did not include one of her delicious homemade specialties, and there was never a weekend where she couldn't be seen among her fellow parishioners at Mass. Her mailbox was always full of thank-yous and stationary from Catholic organizations for her generous donations. This faith and generosity is what solidified her as a teacher and mentor for many of her students, her own children and, later in life, her grandchildren.
Just as she was a vital member of her church, Margie was a beacon of love that held her family together. She made sure every achievement in her family members' lives were met with a grand feast and an endless amount of desserts. No matter what the occasion, Margie made every dinner seem like a holiday; her love and generosity knew no bounds. Her life was a celebration of family, friends, and faith; however, what may be her most abmirable virtue is her work ethic which often went unnoticed.
Margie is survived by her two sons and their families: Luke and his wife Janine (Omaha, NE); and Jon and his wife Colleen (Sioux Falls); as well as her four grandchildren: Jordann (Austin, TX), Adam (Omaha, NE), Teresa and her husband Abdul (Omaha, NE), and Victoria (Minneapolis, MN); she is also survived by three of her siblings: John Fitzgerald (Beresford, SD), Gerald Fitzgerald (Beresford, SD), and Veronica Muller (Beresford, SD).
Family and friends are gathering for visitation at 5:00 PM on Friday, April 9 at Barnett-Lewis Funeral Home, 901 S Minnesota Ave. with a Scripture Vigil at 6:30 PM. This service will also be live-streamed on the website for those who cannot make it. Mass of Christian Burial will be Saturday, April 10 at Christ the King Church, 1501 W 26th St. at 11:30 AM with a burial at Woodlawn Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations may directed to Christ the King Catholic Church.
