Joseph E. Wilson, 97, of Bloomington, Indiana, passed away peacefully on October 23, 2025. Born in Bloomington to Sarah Alice Wilson Floyd, he was preceded in death by his wife, Maxine Wilson; his mother; brothers Kenneth and Donald Floyd; two infant brothers; sister-in-law Kathy Floyd; and son-in-law Dr. Richard Mayrose of Terre Haute.
He is survived by his daughter, Cara Wilson Mayrose of Terre Haute, and granddaughter, Carly Joanna Mayrose of Carmel, who brought him endless pride and joy, as well as his sister-in-law, Violet Floyd, and several nieces and nephews.
Joe worked for Ralph Rogers Company for many years and later during retirement he operated a landscaping business and cherished his customers and community. He found happiness mowing on his John Deere, taking drives around town, and spending time at his Lake Monroe property.
