Catherine Wilson Obituary

Wilson, Catherine

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Catherine Wilson (Cathy), loving, devoted, and doting Nana to Mickey and Casey Glascott, on October 7, 2021, in Williams Bay, Wisconsin. Adored Mama of Amanda (Mike) Glascott, proud stepmother to Ben (Sylvie) Resch. Loving Aunt to Karen, Pat, Katie, Kevin, Elizabeth, Quinn, Jesse, CJ, Luke, and Anne. Fond Great Aunt to many! Beloved sister to Mary Wilson Crocker and Barbara Collins and our dearly departed Rita and Joe. Daughter of the late Bim and Ruth Wilson. A close friend to so many. Cathy was an amazing friend and mentor to all who knew her, down in Chicago and up in her adopted home, Williams Bay. She worked in Human Resources for more than 40 years, a job that suited her special skills of kindness and empathy. She retired in 2015, just in time to fulfill her most treasured role and become Nana to first Mickey, then Casey. Her grandsons were her life and we are so blessed to know she will always be watching over them. Visitation will be held at St. Michael's Church of Old Town, 1633 N. Cleveland Ave, Chicago, on Saturday, October 30, 2021, at 10 a.m., until the time of Mass at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Mercy Home for Boys & Girls https://www.mercyhome.org/ or (877) 637-2955.
