A lifelong Knoxvillian, Cathy was born on February 6, 1953 to the late Tolby and Pauline (Owens) Wilson.
She was a kind-hearted soul with a bright smile and sweet demeanor. She was a devoted aunt, sister, cousin and friend. She especially loved her nieces and nephew as one of her own. She will greatly be missed by her family, friends and all who knew her.
Cathy is preceded in death by grandparents Charlie Wilson and Nancy (Butcher) Wilson, and her parents, the late Tolby and Pauline (Owens) Wilson.
She is survived by her partner of over 30 years Kenneth Ledford; brother Charlie Wilson (Jackie); nephew Charlie Wilson Jr. (Lori); nieces Diane McKinney (Tripp), and Jamia Wilson (Erich); as well as honorary daughters and grandsons, several cousins, great nephews and nieces, and other extended family members and friends.
The family will meet Saturday, Sept. 14th at Oak Ridge Memorial Park for a 1PM for a committal service.
