Clarence Leon Wilson, age 82, died Tuesday, April 27, 2021.
Clarence was born August 29, 1938 in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, the son of George Melvin and Oleta (Gray) Wilson.
After the death of his father, Clarence's mother married Carl West, and they raised their large family of nine children on their dairy farm in Tishomingo.
In 1960, Clarence worked as the Store Manager for C. R. Anthony Company in Amarillo, Texas. It was in Amarillo that Clarence met the love of his life, Shirley Jean Young who worked at a nearby store. The two were married the following year on January 21, 1961.
In 1964 after the birth of their son, Billy Wayne Wilson, they moved to Fayetteville, Arkansas to be closer to loved ones.
Clarence was a hard worker with careers in multiple fields. As a young father Clarence worked as the Men's Department Manager of Montgomery Ward's in Fayetteville. Then in 1971, Clarence got a job with Frito Lay as a Route Manager and had a career spanning over twenty five years.
Clarence was a member of Calvary Baptist Church in Fayetteville for fifty years. He held an unwavering faith in God which he shared with those around him by being a living example of Christ's Love. As a devout Christian and family man, Clarence led a full life of love, continuously surrounded by friends and family.
Clarence was unendingly proud of his family and always did his best to support them. Anyone who knew Clarence knew that he was the most loving father, husband and grandfather a family could ask for.
He was a caring and patient man willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He was always positive and cheerful. Anyone who would ask him how he was doing would be met with his trademark phrase, "Super Good and Getting Better!"
