Carol Elaine Wilson

Carol was the first-born child to Kathryn Currin and Edward Wilson. She was baptized at an early age at the Greater Shiloh Baptist Church in Muskogee, Oklahoma and was an active member of the children and youth choirs. Carol loved to sing and play the guitar. She had a beautiful voice that she delighted in lifting up to glorify the Lord!

Carol was a graduate of the historic Manual Training High School with the Class of 1968. After graduation, she went to work for Southwestern Bell until 1975 when she enlisted in the United States Air Force. After four years of service to the Air Force as a Medical Service Specialist, she chose to end her military career and was honorably discharged. Carol was reinstated to her former position in San Antonio, Texas with Southwestern Bell and retired after 30 years of service.

During her time in San Antonio, Texas, she became a faithful member of the True Vision Church. Carol served in the church as Sunday School teacher and choir member.

She also received a Bachelor Degree of Business from Our Lady of the Lake University while living in San Antonio, Texas.

Carol left San Antonio, Texas in 2010 and moved to Columbus, Ohio to be closer to her brother, Ralph, and his family. She remained in Columbus until her death.
