Franklin D. Wilson

Franklin D. Wilson, 82, of New Bern, passed into the loving arms of Jesus on Sunday, August 23, 2015. He was at home and surrounded by family and his two wonderful hospice nurses.

Frank is survived by his loving wife of 23 years, Glenda H. Wilson; his children, Cynthia L. Adams and David R. Adams and wife, Toni L. Adams. He was loved and cherished by three grandchildren, Brandon, Hailey and Walker Adams. He is also survived by sisters, Sarah Dotson, Bernice Adams and husband, Forrester, Anne Sturgill, Kay Wilson and Hazel W. Nix and brother, Timothy Wilson.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Robert Lee and Julia Elizabeth Wilson and five brothers and three sisters.

Frank was blessed with a large and loving family including seven nieces and nine nephews, as well as thirteen great-nieces and twelve great-nephews who all loved and had special relationships with their Uncle “D”.

Frank loved to meet and talk with people. Two of his favorite places to be were his church and at work. Frank was blessed to have served as a deacon in the church and enjoyed sixty-four years in the hotel business which he dearly loved.

Frank was loved by all that knew him. Though he will be missed tremendously, we rejoice in the knowledge that he has gone home to be with his Lord and Savior.
