Beth was born on February 14, 1934 to Willie and Lillian Wilson in the beautiful town of Shelby, NC. After graduating from Shelby High School in 1952, she attended and graduated from Presbyterian Nursing School in Charlotte.
In 1954, Beth met Bill McKee in Charlotte through their lifelong friends Bob and Mattie Capps. Love and marriage soon followed — as well as four children — Teresa, Bruce, David and Dale.
After years of nursing patients, first in the hospital and then at an allergy clinic, Beth retired in 1996. While retired, she had more time to pursue her love of family, reading and traveling. She and Bill traveled to over 40 states and to several foreign countries. They always returned with wonderful stories and experiences with their travel companions.
Over the years, Beth's life and heart were filled by special friendships – especially with her girlfriends and by the numerous neighbors in need she quietly found time to care for.
Beth was predeceased by Bill — her husband, her friend, her rock and her love of more than 56 years — and by her siblings Sue, Jane, Billy and Jimmy.
Beth is survived by her children Teresa Lee (Tracy), Bruce (Kim), David (Sue) and Dale (Cindy), and by her kind, loving grandchildren — Nick, Sarah, Duncan, Reid, Evan, Grace and Ella.
Services will be held at Beth’s long-time church home – Weddington United Methodist, 13901 Providence Rd., Weddington, NC 28104 – on Thursday, May 26, 2022. The family will receive friends beginning at 1pm and the service will begin at 2pm.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in her honor to Weddington United Methodist Church (https://www.weddingtonchurch.org/giving/). Thank you. Peace.
