Barbara Jean Wilson
Age 91, passed away peacefully July 31, 2024, surrounded by family. Born on July 3, 1933, in Dayton, OH. After graduating from Julienne high school she enlisted in the U.S. Navy Hospital Corp School during the Korean conflict. After her service in the Navy she returned to Dayton and raised a family with her husband Harry, who she met in the Navy. Returning to school later in life she graduated from Sinclair Community College nursing program and enjoyed a rewarding career as an OR nurse at Barney's Children's Hospital.

Barb was preceded in death by her husband of 58 years Harry, her mother and father Elizabeth (Betty) and Arthur McWhorter, and grandson Sean Wilson. Barb and Harry operated the Hamar House B & B in Chassell, MI for 23 years – You were a stranger only once (as we all know Barb had the gift of gab)! The party's over Harry, Barb has arrived to straighten things out. The family wishes to extend a special thank you to the staffs at Miami Valley South ER and Quaker Heights Assisted Living Center, her many special nursing friends, and especially the past and present members of the "Lost Memory Nursing Home".

Barbara was a great mom, sister, nurse, friend, and she will live in the memories of many. We worked together at Children's for many years shared joys and tragedies in that setting of the OR. We were known to frequent Bob Stags across the street, sing "Take This Job and Shove It!", and make snow angels if the opportunity arose. Trips to attend The AORN conventions took us to California. The road trip was one of my favorite memories, along with a spur of the moment trip to Chicago to see the Tut Exhibit. I am unable to attend the services due to health issues of my husband. Condolences and fond remembrances to family and friends. Loved the comment for Harry to prepare for her arrival!

Many, many good memories with the Fishers and Wilsons. Barb can whip Bill Fisher into shape too. :) Mom will be joining her very soon.
The Fisher Family send their love and prayers to the Wilsons

Slocums all send their condolences to the Wilsons. There was always a good Barb story when Mom and Dad returned from a "Lost Memory Home" excursion.
