I just learned of Essie´s passing. We hadn´t seen each other in decades but I still love her and have wonderful memories of working together caring for our patients at East Cooper Hospital Women´s Services in the 1990´s. She was no-nonsense, extremely smart, had a great sense of humor, and always dedicated to "delivering" the best nursing care to our Maternity patients. She would sometimes share family anecdotes and loved her daughters beyond measure.

My matchless and beloved Cousin Essie! I am grateful that God gave you to us. So many memories of you and all happy, not a one bad memory. Knowing how great Essie's loss to all her relatives was, I can only imagine the loss to her daughters to whom all of us send our love. To Cousin Essie the Kingdom of Heaven!

Your sweet Mother was my neighbor in Mt. Pleasant, when I was student in college many years ago. I remember her kindness to me after all these years.
May she rest in eternal peace.

Essie taught me to be a real nurse at the Old Coop. I will remember her fondly. She was truly one of a kind.

I knew, and loved working with, Essie Wilson, R.N. on the Maternity unit at East Cooper Hospital decades ago. She was part of an outstanding team of Labor and Delivery nurses who worked hard, did excellent jobs and truly cared for their patients. I knew Essie was giving my patients the best possible care. She had a great sense of humor, was totally reliable and dedicated. I have wonderful memories of working with her, and send my condolences to her daughters and family; I know she will be greatly missed.

So very sorry to hear about Essie's passing. Goodness so many memories since I was 8 years old and going with my Dad to watch Essie play basketball in McClellanville. Then babysiting for her in Mt. Pleasant and all the times being with her at my parents home. My parents loved Essie. You girls will be in my thoughts and prayers. She was quite a lady!

My childhood memories would not be complete without thoughts of Essie and Gladys so many years ago and Essie's presence at more than a couple of babies births! What a force she was - condolences to you all.
