George Beall Wilson III

Skip was born on August 7th, 1949. He was the only child of George Beall Wilson, Jr. and Martha Joyce Wilson (Shehan). He is preceded in death by his parents, and his Aunt Mary Katherine Shehan, "Mimi" who loved Skip as her own. His younger years were spent in Springfield, KY, and then he moved to Charleston, WV where he attended Stonewall Jackson High School. He also attended West Virginia Wesleyan College where he fell in love with his wife of 50 years, Marcia Corbitt of Parkersburg, WV. He was also an active member of the Chi Phi Fraternity.

Skip transitioned to Charleston, WV to begin his career at USF&G Insurance followed by a brief stint with Carson Insurance. Next Skip was off to Springfield, VA where he worked at Thomas Rutherfoord Commercial Insurance for the next 40 years. At Rutherfoord, he climbed to Vice President and managed the Alexandria, VA office. Skip was an avid golfer and enjoyed many rounds with his friends at Springfield Golf & Country Club. During his retirement, he moved to Nashville, TN where he and Marcia loved attending Vanderbilt sporting events. He was passionate about tracing his genealogy and tracking the routes of his father throughout WWII.

Skip will be best be remembered as a proud and loving husband, father, and grandfather. He was a friend to everyone who knew him, and we will miss his stories and infectious sense of humor. Skip had a quick wit, and inquisitive nature, and was always willing to help others.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Marcia Corbitt Wilson, his three children, Elizabeth Wilson Poplawski and her husband Kevin, Jeb Wilson and his wife Jenny, and Molly Wilson Burgdorf and her husband, Brian, as well as six wonderful grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held on Monday, September 7 at 5:00 PM at Christ the King Catholic Church, 3001 Belmont Blvd, Nashville, TN.
