Daisy Rena Wilson

With her family by her side, Daisy Rena Wilson, age 74, passed away peacefully, Sunday, November 3, 2024, at Aurora Zilber Family Hospice. She was born on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 1950, daughter of the late Richard and Willa Bea (Nee: Curry) Rollins.

On June 16, 1967, Daisy was united in marriage to Julien Grant Wilson Sr., who preceded her in death on April 29, 2017. She was a member of Faith Christian Fellowship. Daisy's zest for shopping, fashion, music, and dancing will always be remembered. Take her shopping, buy her a fashion magazine, or treat her to a Whopper for a smile. Playing her favorite song by Freddie Jackson, 'You Are My Lady', will bring an even bigger smile. Above all, she cherished time with family and enjoyed getting her nails done with granddaughters Shakita and Oprea.

She was loved dearly and will be sadly missed by her ten children, Julien Grant (Gelyn) Wilson Jr., Darell Wilson, Bernice Wilson, Debra Wilson, Denise (Kenn) Mashatt, Thelya Rodney Wilson, Raymond Douglas Wilson, Laquisha Monique Wilson, Nord Dan Wilson, Donald Wilson, 1 stepdaughter Janice Tasha (Curtis)Wilson Brown, 20 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren; siblings Willa Jeanie Rollins, Barbara Rollins, Wylena (Willie) Braswell, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law other relatives and many dear friends.
