Torina Michelle Cooks-Wilson

The former Torina Michelle Cooks was born on Wednesday, April 4, 1973, in Chicago, Illinois, to Birdia and the late Freddie Cooks, Torina spent most of her life in Beloit, where she built a home, a family, and a community of love. Torina graduated from Beloit Memorial High School in 1991. She married the love of her life, Orlando Wilson Sr. on October 4, 1996, in Beloit, Wisconsin. Orlando preceded her in death on March 18, 2025. Torina entered the marriage with her daughter, Trin-Eisha McShan, whom Orlando lovingly accepted and raised as his own. Their union was later blessed with three sons, and together they created a home filled with laughter, love, and unwavering devotion. Torina was a charter member of Lighthouse Fellowship Church, and just a couple of Sundays ago joined Fountain of Life Total Holiness Church and accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior, securing her eternal home in glory. Torina's warmth, loyalty, laugh and sense of humor touched everyone who knew her. She loved listening to Keith Sweat (her "husband" long before Lando), R. Kelly, and Lee Williams.
