Calvin Wilson Obituary

Calvin S. Wilson, 79, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, Sept. 19.

Calvin had a great love for fishing and cooking. Calvin retired as a security guard at the Alex Haley Farm and Museum, a job he was so proud of.

He was a good friend to all who knew him.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Clayton and Anna Parrott Wilson; stepmother, Ruth Wilson; wife, Lucille McNeeley Wilson; daughter, Janice Lloyd; grandson, Jason Lloyd; brothers, Ronnie and George Wilson; and sisters, Artella Bolton and Viola Goodman.

He is survived by his grandchildren, Jayden and Ayden Lloyd; sister-in-law and caregiver, Von Wilson; nieces and caregivers, Shanna and Shonda Monday; good friend and neighbor, Josie McNeeley; and a host of other family and friends to mourn his passing.

At Calvin's request, he had a private graveside service and interment on Tuesday, Sept. 20 at C.B. Wilson Cemetery.

With great appreciation to Walters Funeral Home for going beyond their duty for our needs.
