Evelyn Helen Wilson

In Loving Memory of Evelyn Helen Wilson (nee Frost)

Evelyn Helen Wilson, born on April 21st, 1928, in San Bernardino, California, peacefully

departed from this world on October 2nd, 2023. She was the cherished daughter of Otto and

Eva Frost and spent her formative years growing up in the heart of San Bernardino.

Evelyn's journey in life was marked by her unwavering commitment to her community. She

dedicated many years of her life working diligently for the city of San Bernardino, where she left

an indelible mark on the place she called home. Her tireless efforts extended beyond her

professional life, as she actively participated in various groups, including the American Business

Women's Association (ABWA) and the Perris Hill Neighborhood Association. Evelyn was a true

community advocate, always striving to make her neighborhood a better place.

Her faith held a special place in her heart, and she was a devoted member of the First Christian

Church. Evelyn also found fellowship and camaraderie as a dedicated member of the Elk's

Lodge.

Evelyn was not only a dedicated community leader but also a loving mother and grandmother.

She was known for her green thumb and had a passion for gardening. She enjoyed solving the

daily Jumble in the newspaper, adding a touch of fun to her daily routine. She also sponsored

several international children and donated to many charities. She enjoyed sending and receiving

letters and was a dedicated penpal.

Evelyn Helen Wilson is preceded in death by her beloved parents, Otto and Eva, as well as her

sisters, Louise and Velma. She now joins her loving husband, John Kelly Wilson, along with two

sons, John and David, and her son-in-law, Clifford McColley, in eternal peace.

She is survived by her daughter, Linda, of Kentucky, and her devoted daughters-in-law, Susan

of California, and Pamela of California. Evelyn leaves behind a legacy of love and family,

including her cherished grandchildren: Kelly (Gilbert) Enriquez, Travis (Laura) McColley, Lauren

Wilson, Kristin (Nate) Atwood, Kimberly (Bradford) Neuman, Lyndsey Wilson, and Andrew

Wilson. Her spirit lives on in the laughter and joy of eight great-grandchildren and one

great-great-grandchild.

Evelyn Helen Wilson's memory will forever be etched in the hearts of those who were fortunate

enough to know her. She leaves behind a legacy of love, service, and community that will

continue to inspire us all.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to one of Evelyn's cherished

community organizations or charities in her honor.
