Shirley Ann Wilson

Mrs. Shirley Ann Wilson was born in Philadelphia, PA to the late Clifton and Louise Burke on June 14, 1944.  Shirley was the oldest of four siblings, and attended the Philadelphia School system.  Her passion for helping others led her to spend many years working with children who had learning disabilities.  Throughout her life, Shirley has attended various churches, but her current church home was the Mark Webb Family Worship Center, where she was a very active member.  Shirley's soul was truly anchored in the Lord, and she worked tirelessly to plant seeds in others that only God can water. 

She departed this life on May 15, 2019, leaving to mourn one daughter, Pamela Wilkerson, two sons, Kevin Wilkerson and Curtis Wilkerson, one sister, Barbara Jackson, eight grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild...a whole host of nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends. 

God saw her getting tired and a cure was not to be; so he put his arms around her and whispered, "Come to Me".  With tear-filled eyes, we watched you pass away, and although we love you dearly, we could not make you stay.  A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest; God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.
