Esther Wilson

It is with sadness that the family of Esther Germaine Wilson (nee Stone) announces her passing on August 14, 2022 at the age of 93. “Gerry” was the daughter of George and Charlotte Stone of Sampsonville, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. She is predeceased by her husband, Hugh Hamilton Wilson (“Shiner”).

Proud mother and grandmother of Glen Wilson and his children, Zoe and Dylan; the late Tom Wilson (Cherry) and their children Sarah, Victoria, Jessica and Tom’s daughter Rene; Kelly MacKenzie (David) and their children Robyn (Thomas) and Kailey; Jim Wilson (Isabelle) and their children Emma-Catharine, Amanda (Mathew) and Jim’s son Quinton. Gerry is survived by three great-grandchildren, as well as brother Arthur Stone (Anna Mae), sisters Cecilia Witty (Lawrence), Lorraine Rouleau (Chester) and pre-deceased by brothers Herman, Russell, Daniel, Leo and sisters Gertrude, Florence, Isabelle, Margaret and Angeline.

Gerry was a truly beautiful person with an optimistic outlook who saw the good in everyone. To those who knew her she was the personification of loving kindness. She was a hardworking, resourceful mother and spouse who loved fishing, family and travel. She put a smile on everyone’s face at family gatherings with her sense of humour and always spoke her mind. Gerry’s devotion to God was unwavering as she successfully battled cancer twice. She was a dedicated Leafs and London Knights fan. Gerry lived a full, rich life on her own terms, and we are all blessed with her legacy of great memories. Cremation has occurred.
