Irene May Wilson's Obituary
Irene May Wilson, age 92, of Seaford, DE passed away in her home on Monday, July 11, 2022. She was born in Seaford, DE on July 4, 1930, the daughter of the late Willie and Mamie (Foskey) Wilson.
Irene graduated from Seaford High School, class of 1948. After graduating high school, she married Jack Wilson and they spent forty years together until his passing in 1990.
Those who knew Irene, knew that she was a big Tom Jones fan and that her absolute favorite color was purple. For many years, she enjoyed going to the beach in Ocean City, MD. Irene had a love for cats and was known to provide a home for several strays that found their way to her door over the years. She was an especially devoted daughter, loved by many, and will be missed by all who knew her.
In addition to her parents, Irene was preceded in death by her beloved husband of forty years, Jack Wilson. She is survived by her son, Terry Wilson (Lois) of Blades, DE; her granddaughters, Michelle Mazzuchi (Thomas, Jr.) of South San Francisco, CA, Megan Trimball (Antwon) of Laurel, DE; her great-grandsons, Landon and Langston Trimball of Laurel, DE; and her special cousin, Elizabeth Himes of Seaford, DE.
The family would like to give special thanks to all her wonderful caregivers in recent years, including Gladys, Angie and Nicky.
