Alvana Beverly Wilson's Obituary
Alvana “Beverly” Wilson, age 88, of Georgetown, DE. passed away on Thursday, September 29, 2022, at her home. She was born on November 21, 1933, in Ocean View, DE, the daughter of the late Elmer and Alberta A. (Mitchell) Justice.
A lifelong Delawarean, Beverly, and her husband Russell raised their family in Sussex County, where all of her children still reside. She enjoyed a lengthy career working as a Security Guard for Sussex County government and retired from the Sussex County Courthouse in Georgetown, DE, a job she enjoyed very much. Her devotion to her family, however, took precedence and the time spent with those she held dear was what she most cherished.
In addition to her parents, Beverly was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Russell L. Wilson; two sisters, Ruth Schmierer, Barbara Thompson; and her son-in-law, Bryan Schilling. She is survived by her bother, Nelson Justice (Linda) of Laurel, DE; her children, Michael L. Wilson (Debbie) of Georgetown, DE, Deborah a Wilson (Brian) of Lewes, DE, and Donna R. Allen (Doug) of Lewes, DE; four grandsons, Mike and Mark Wilson, Kevin Quillen, Christopher Schilling, and several great-grandchildren. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend and will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known her.
A graveside service will be held on Friday, October 14, 2022, at 11:00 AM at St. John’s Cemetery at the Gravel Hill and Springfield Crossroads, Georgetown, DE.
