Susie Ann Wilson

Susie Ann Wilson was born to Charles Mitchell Wilson and Mae Fannie (Tucker) Wilson on Wednesday, July 2, 1958, in Columbus, Ohio. Susie graduated from South High School in 1977 and always represented her Bulldogs. She was a loyal friend and had a compassionate, empathetic nature as evidenced in her nurturing love for people.

Throughout her lifetime, Susie worked various jobs, including Honey Baked Ham and Bank One. Her most precious and coveted job was being a dedicated and devoted mother. The one thing that you knew was that Susie loved her children. She took pride in taking her children to all their school functions, sporting events, and helping them as they became parents themselves. Susie was also the community mother, opening her home to multiple children over the years, who she claimed as her own.

Susie was a faithful woman who loved the Lord so much that she was baptized twice, once as a young child, and again, soon after she became a member of Rhema Christian Center. Not only was Susie an active member in the church, but she was also a servant leader in her community. She participated in service projects transcending beyond the city. Susie volunteered at local schools, such as Fifth Avenue Elementary School for International Studies. She assisted the elderly with grocery shopping, household duties, and provided a comforting and listening ear.

Susie was an ultra-competitor, and you would recognize that if you saw her in action. You would feel her wrath and hear her hilarious commentary as she would try to sike you out. Don’t start any music because Susie would attempt to cut a rug anywhere and everywhere, with her no rhythm dancing-self. She was the life of the party! If she was there, you wouldn’t have to ask, because you would see and hear her having the time of her life. Now, if she was at one of her kids’ sporting events, beware and guard your ears, because Susie was the biggest cheerleading parent from the stands! Needless to say, her love and warm energy would inevitably be felt all through the room.

Blessed with sixty-three years of life, our beloved Susie Wilson entered eternal rest on Saturday, August 21, 2021. Susie was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Mae Wilson and her sister, Mary Morrison.
