Marilyn (Maxim) Wilson, aged 92, affectionately known as "Mother Dear," went to be with the angels on April 15, 2021 at home in San Antonio. She was born November 13, 1928 to Walter and Doris (Ellingwood) Maxim in Bethel, Maine.
She was the voice of reason, stability and peace in our family. She wasn't an outwardly expressive type of mom, but she didn't need to be because we all felt her love. Through her gifts of cooking and baking, handcrafting blankets and afghans, endless acts of service and her forgiving heart she expressed her love not only to her own family, but to countless family friends who she welcomed in, treating them as their second "mom".
She married Air Force MSgt.George Wilson in 1951. Together, they lived and traveled around the world, serving their country and raising five children.
We are proud of her lifelong service to our country, first in the Air Force, where, then as the wife of a Diplomat, along with multiple Civil Service assignments, and finally as a citizen of the Greatest Generation. Much of her work in Civil Service was in military libraries as she had a passion for reading and learning which she shared with us all.Until the end of her life she faithfully read the newspaper and her Bible devotions, cooked (or least shared her secrets), kept her home tidy, grew and tended to her beautiful flowers, hand wrote countless cards and letters and shared her love of family history with her children and grandchildren. She treasured her Maine town history books documenting ancestor's lives and was proud of her Mayflower descendancy. Underneath her gentle, shy demeanor her sharp-witted, comical character was revealed, which made herself and those around her laugh every day. With her Maine accent and colorful Yankee expressions she entertained us with stories of the good old days and her adventures living and traveling around the world.
Marilyn will be forever missed by her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, sister, other relatives and many friends. She was predeceased by her husband George Wilson, step-son Craig Wilson, and daughter Rosalie Wilson, parents, three brothers and two sisters.
Rest in peace, ma'am.
