Mr. Wilson was born March 1, 1946, in Spokane, WA to Shirley and James Wilson. Mrs. Wilson was born September 9, 1946 in Puyallup, WA to Ezra and Marjorie Bogue.
Larry attended Lewis and Clark High School at which time he met the love of his life, Barbara, a Highlander at Shadle Park High School, during a summer outing in Bayview, ID. They married August 12, 1967 and started a wonderful life together. They were blessed with two daughters, Heather and Melissa. Larry retired after a distinguished career as a fuel tank driver while Barbara supported him and their daughters as a homemaker.
They loved the lake life, spending their summers in Bayview, ID, enjoying their family and friends and relaxing on their boat. Larry also enjoyed riding his Harley and recently finished a restoration project of his 1967 El Camino. Barbara cherished visits from her daughters and grandchildren and trips to Dick’s Hamburgers for her favorite, fish ‘n chips.
Larry was a doting husband, a loving father, and a selfless grandfather and father-in-law; a man who lived with integrity. Barbara was a gentle, warm, and loving wife, mother, grandmother, and mother-in-law. They bestowed upon others their resources, time, grace, and kindness.
They are survived by their daughters, Heather Halvorsen and Melissa Power and their husbands and grandsons, Noah Halvorsen and Cyrus Power and by Barbara’s brother, Ron Bogue.
They were preceded in death by Larry’s parents, James and Shirley Wilson, his brother, James Wilson and by Barbara’s parents, Ezra and Marjorie Bogue.
The family asks those who wish to honor Larry and Barbara consider making a donation to the National MS Society.
