Ms. Angela Michelle Wilson

Angela Michelle Wilson, of Clinton, Mississippi went to be with our Lord on Tuesday, February 2, 2014 at the University of Alabama Hospital, Birmingham after a short battle against a rare lung disease. Born in Jackson, Mississippi, on March 1, 1986, to Bill and Kathy Wilson, Angela was an elementary school teacher who deeply loved every child she came in contact with. She received her Bachelors Degree in Education in 2009 from Mississippi College. She continued at MC to earn her Masters Degree in Education with Gifted Endorsement in 2012. Angela took a position teaching first grade in 2009 at Van Winkle Elementary School in Jackson. In 2012, she began teaching in the Vicksburg Warren School District, first at Warrenton Elementary for 2 years, then at Redwood Elementary for the last 2 years as the 4-6 grade gifted teacher, which she felt was her true calling.

Angela made some of her favorite memories at Mississippi College where she developed so many lifetime friendships with her beloved sisters and their beau in the Kissimee Social Tribe.

Oak Forest Baptist Church was Angela’s church home all of her life. At the age of 10, she accepted Christ as her Savior and Lord. Later on during one of her youth trips that she cherished so much, Angela made the decision to completely trust her footsteps to God and his calling for her life, striving to be a servant for Him in all that she did, showing His love to everyone that she would encounter.

Angela was a huge New Orleans Saints fan, loved music, shopping, taking pictures of friends, flowers, sunsets and other special memories, and she cherished spending time with her friends and family whom she loved so deeply.
