Midge Wilson

Midge Wilson, 91, of Jonesboro died Sunday, August 18, 2013 at the Flo & Phil Jones Hospice House. Midge was born March 25, 1922 to the late Sigle and Thana Ford in Fisher, Arkansas. She was a loyal military wife that moved around to various places from Japan, California, Ohio, and back to Arkansas over her husband’s military career. Everywhere her family moved she was always able to make their house seem like home no matter where they lived. She was a St. Louis Cardinal and Red Wolf football fan, and she loved to watch Valley View sports. She was a faithful member of the Christian Valley Christian Church in Jonesboro. She was a selfless lady that had many talents, from cooking home cooked meals to cake decorating, cross stitching to seamstress work, and always had a home that was spotless and inviting to anyone that knew her. The love she displayed to her family over the years, her great sense of humor, and sweet smile will be missed, but will never be forgotten. In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her husband, Whit Wilson; one brother, Norton Ford; and one sister, Leota Jones. She is survived by four daughters, Donna (Sonny) Norsworthy of Cave Creek, AZ, Lynn (Ken) Yarbrough of Jonesboro, Jeanne (Glenn) Moore of Carrollton, TX, and Jayme Wilson of Dallas, TX; 12 grandchildren, Dee Grantham, Blake and Shawn Norsworthy, Whitney Erickson, Lee Norsworthy, Chris Elmore, Heather Gardner, Dr. Courtney Hoffman, Kendall Gartman, Jay Yarbrough, Britton Wells, and Morgan Wagner; and 25 great grandchildren; a brother in-law, Walter Wilson of Harrisburg. Visitation will be Wednesday morning in the Emerson Memorial Chapel from 10 to 11am. A Graveside service will be Wednesday at 11:30am at McDaniel Cemetery with Bro. Mitch Ford officiating and Emerson Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. Honored to serve as pallbearers are Chris Elmore, Jay Yarbrough, Matt Hoffman, Zach Gartman, and Blake and Shawn Norsworthy.
