Mrs. Wilson was born on May 21, 1938 to the late Walter L. and Genella R. Grisham. She was a homemaker and a member of Avalon Baptist Church in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. She played bass guitar and sang beautifully and was a founding member of the Country Sunshine Band. She loved country and gospel music, her family and friends, was loved by many, and will be missed by all. She was an encourager and looked for the good in everyone. She also made the best peanut butter cookies you’d ever put in your mouth!

She is survived by her daughters, Tammy Reeves and Rita McCaslin (John Redden) of Jackson; son, Jeffrey McCaslin (Diana) of Decaturville; sister Nancy Martin of Jackson; brother, Danny Grisham (Barbara) of Lexington; 10 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, a large extended family of step children, step grandchildren, and step great-grandchildren, and nieces and nephews.
