Patricia (Pat) Ann Wilson passed away on February 20, 2022, at Prestige Manor Care facility in Bellview, Florida. She was born on July 9, 1938, in High Springs, Florida to parents, Octavius and Myrtle Blackwelder

She married Ted B. Wilson on May 26, 1957, and they raised their family in Maryville, Tennessee. While Ted coached football and led the music at their church, Pat served as the pianist and a soloist in the choir, as well as the children’s choirs coordinator. She cooked countless meals for hundreds through the years and when their youngest child started school, went to work as an administrative assistant in a dentistry office. In each city they lived, they remained faithful to Jesus Christ by serving Him in the community of faith, whether in Maryville, Kingsport, TN, and then to Ocala.  Pat spent the final nine months of her life at Prestige Manor in Bellview, Florida where Carrol Smith and the staff served her with excellence.
