MARION C. WILSON
BELLE HAVEN-Marion C. Wilson, 97, formerly of Belle Haven, a small community in the Canisteo Valley, that she had the privilege of naming, passed away early Saturday morning (Aug. 27, 2011) at McAuley Manor in North Hornell where she has resided the past seven years.
Born in Jasper on Nov. 20, 1913, she was a daughter of the late Almond K. and Charlotte May Wood Dennis. On June 26, 1938 she was married in North Jasper to Ellsworth S. “Ell” Wilson who predeceased her on Jan. 10, 1986, after 48 years of marriage. Besides her parents and husband, she was also predeceased by her infant son, her two brothers, Warren and Leland Dennis and her two sisters, Mildred Marsh and Verdi Dennis.
A graduate of the former Canisteo Academy and Keuka College, class of 1935, Marion has resided in the Hornell-Canisteo area since 1945 and became a resident of Belle Haven in 1951.
She was a homemaker, a long time member of the Steuben County Republican Committee, and also served as an election inspector in South Hornell for many years.
Marion loved to work in her flower garden, and enjoyed spending time at the former Big Elms Restaurant and the Italian Villa Restaurant in Hornell. She was also well known for her telephone “networking.”
Her family includes her four sons, James (Nancy) Wilson of Livonia, Dennis (Lynn) Wilson of Hornell, Michael Wilson of Canisteo and Paul (Gail) Wilson of Hammondsport; her four grandchildren, Michelle Walker, Hilary (Tom) Clyne, Nicholas (Megan) Wilson and Nathan Wilson; her two great-grandchildren, Alexander Walker and Sydney Tucker; also her nieces, nephews and great nieces and great-nephews.
Calling hours are from 4-7 p.m. Tuesday at the Bishop & Johnson Funeral Home, Inc., 285 Main St., Hornell, where a funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, with the Rev. Steven Jewell officiating. Committal services and interment will follow at Woodlawn Cemetery, Canisteo.
The courtesy of no flowers would be appreciated and those wishing may contribute in her memory to their favorite charity.
I am going to miss my Grandma very much, she was a very special lady and will miss her smile, hugs and of course her great sense of humor!! Rest in peace Grammy, Tommy and I love and miss you!!
Although I did not know her, she was my 3rd cousin once removed. I would love to add more information on the rest of the family, to my family tree. Marion was my Mom’s third cousin and your Dad was a cousin on my Dad’s side.
