Leola King Wilson

I do remember Mrs. Wilson as a kid . I lived on Fell n Fillmore . We kids were treated so nicely by you whenever we seen you out and and about . I ended up as a musician playing at THE BLUE MIRROR until it's closing . Thank You {Goldie} RIP.

I love you and I appreciate the time we did have.

My apologies Miss Queen. When I was 5 years old (1959) we used to push the door open at the Blue Mirror and say crazy stuff. You were so nice to some bad kids. God Bless you on your journey home.

Goldie, Rest in Peace I'm sure you're looking over all the loved ones you've touched and blessed in this world. God Bless Heaven has a new Angel

To the Wilson family, please accept my deep sympathies...
Unfortunately, I did not know her. However, I did make the Blue Mirror in my search of the jazz haunts in S.F. I have a fond memory of seeing/hearing the Virgil Gonsaves Sextet there somewhere in the mid to late 50s. I also remember a conversation with John Hardy(?) who was in radio at the time. I remember he was almost in tears because of something that had happened at the radio station, I believe. Can't remember details. But I...

I shall never forget the admiration and respect that my father had for Mrs. Leola King. He was in commercial and residential air conditoning, refrigeraton, stove and other appliance sales and repair and provided services for Mrs. King at her businesses and residential properties. I was young and wished I could meet this lady. I did when Dad took me on a call with him. I found her to be pretty and very business minded. To my dismay, I never made it inside the BLUE Mirror. May she rest in...

Leola King (Goldie) was by far one of the strongest women I've ever known. Ms King was a true leader and motivator to everyone she came in contact with. Miss understood by some, but loved by many. Goldie was uplifting and inspirational to everyone around her. Your presence will be sorely missed.

Sincerely,
Your grandson (Richie)
