Constance Wilson

She was born November 10, 1920 to Walter and Margaret (Kowalski) Gralewski in Duluth. The family homesteaded in Cramer. Connie attended schools in Cramer and Finland and graduated from Two Harbors High School. She married William F. Wilson on January 12, 1952. They lived in Two Harbors until moving to Silver Bay in 1955.

Connie was a homemaker through the years and was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church. She was a past President of the American Legion Auxiliary.

Connie spent the last years of her life at Silverpointe Apartments with dear friends Earldyne and Donna. The three of them spent many an evening side-by-side on the sofa watching The Waltons and following Minnesota sports. Other residents fondly dubbed them "The Three Stooges". Her kind friend JoAnn joined them often as well.

Connie was preceded in death by her parents, her beloved husband, William Wilson in 1996, brothers, John and Jim Gralewski, and great-granddaughters, Angela and Emma.

Her family was her greatest joy. She will be sadly missed by her son, Bill (Deb) Wilson of Two Harbors; daughters, Mary (Tom) Ferguson of Cottage Grove, Virginia (Arne) Keifenheim of St. Francis, Connie (Bob) Neborak of Waconia, and Sharon (Dave) Bishop of Owatonna; grandchildren, Kristin (Steve), Eric (Melanie), Katie (Joe), Brad (Erin), Brian, Andy, Julie, Troy, Billy (Kiera), Janie, Brandon, Mandy, Codie, and Samantha; great-grandchildren, Matthew, Daniel, Ryan, Graham, Charlie, Miah, and Dominic.

Visitation will be from 10 AM until the 11 AM Mass of Christian Burial on Friday, June 7, 2013 at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Silver Bay. Burial will be in Sawtooth Mountain Cemetery. Her gentle ways and guiding spirit will be with us always.
