Beverly Ann Wilson

Bev was born on December 2, 1960, in Columbus, Ohio, to Jackie and Ruth Ratcliff. She was a 1979 graduate of Bishop Ready High School and went on to dedicate more than 30 years of service to the State of Ohio, working in the Division of Liquor Control. Bev was a woman of strong faith and a devoted member of St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church.

She met the love of her life, Mike Wilson, and together they shared 35 years of marriage filled with love, laughter, and family. Bev was deeply family-oriented and treasured time spent with those she loved most. She and Mike kept a camper at Grand Lake St. Marys, where countless memories were made while hosting family and friends.

Bev loved to shop and took great joy in spoiling her family and grandchildren. She was generous, thoughtful, and always thinking of others, never forgetting a birthday or special occasion. Known for her wonderful sense of humor, Bev could make anyone laugh, even during her final days.
