Donald Wilson Obituary
He was born in Anderson on Sept. 3, 1931, the son of Bennie and Martha (Copeland) Wilson. On Nov. 22, 1990, he married Luewan Juanita Willis Kersey in Las Vegas, Nev.
He was a 1951 graduate of Anderson High School and a veteran of the U.S. Army. He retired from Delco Remy after 36 years working in Product Design.
He was active in the Daleville Methodist Church, served as president of the Daleville Lions Club and was elected twice to the Salem Community School Board. He was an accomplished water skier, teaching his children as well as many others in what was still considered a developing sport at the time. Upon retirement he picked up the pace on the home improvements he had always been making to his lake property in Monticello. He was admired for his research into the history of the Wilson family, creating much cherished Genealogy charts for family members.
In 2012 he moved to Florida, relaxing with his loving wife Lue while watching the sun go down.
He is survived by his wife, Luewan (Kersey), Naples, Fla.; children, Michael Wilson, Chicago, Ill., Steven (Karen) Wilson, Chesterfield, Ronald Wilson, Daleville, Jennifer (David) Boltz, Garland, Texas, Kenneth Kersey, Naples, Fla.; grandchildren, Amber (Jon) Ryder, Nick (Kourtney) Wilson, Adam (Merrick) Boltz, Brian (Miranda) Boltz, Crimson Scott, Layne (Angie) Coots; great-grandchildren, Austin and Jackson Ryder, Owen and Nora Wilson, Elliot, Maylee and Laynie Boltz, Breanna Townsend, Branden and Jacob Scott, Emma, Tyler, Chelsa and Ethan Coots; and sisters, Anna Looper and Maxine (Wayne) James.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Bennie and Martha Wilson; grandson, Mikolai Wilson Laszczewski; brothers, Denny Wilson, Dallas Wilson; sisters, Leva Taylor, Tillie Dobbins, Elsie Carmack, Geneva Gentry; and cousin, James Stewart.
Graveside Services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 12 at Anderson Memorial Park in the cemetery chapel near the entrance. Military honors will be conducted by the Middletown American Legion and the US Army.
