Linda C. Wilson was born to the late Wasten and Caroline Clark on November 1, 1943, in Savannah, Ga.  Our beloved mother entered into eternal rest on June 16, 2022, at Novant Medical Center, in Wilmington, NC surrounded by her loving family.  Linda took to her love for cooking and caring for children at a young age.  After graduating Alford Ely Beach High School in Savannah, Ga she relocated to Boston, Massachusetts where she met the love of her life, John C. Wilson.  They were married, May 17, 1963.  After a career change, they moved to Wilmington, NC where they proceeded to raise their four children:  Anthony, Melinda, Lisa, and Juan, (who preceded them in death).  As years progressed on, the Wilson family grew, allowing them to spread the love to additional children:  Janice, Allen, Cassandra, and Dwayne.  Affectionately known as "Ma Wilson", Linda joined Price Cathedral A.M.E.
