Candy Wilson

Candice Louise "Candy" Wilson, age 67, of Charlotte, NC passed away Wednesday, October 18, 2017 at Levine & Dickson Hospice House at Southminster after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born in Nashville, TN on November 26, 1949 to W.T. and Louise Wilson and grew up in Chapel Hill, TN.

Candy earned a Bachelor's Degree in Home Economics and Marketing from the University of Tennessee Knoxville. After working a few years as a buyer for Castner Knott, she began to pursue art. Her watercolor paintings mostly consist of animals and flowers and tend to be of a tropical flavor. She, also, spent years traveling the south and eastern coast as a craft show vendor, the last seven of which her dear friend, Ish Nash was her faithful helper.

Candy is greatly missed by her family, including her mother, Louise Wilson, Chapel Hill, TN, two brothers, Michael Wilson, LaVergne, TN, Tim (Dena) Wilson, Chapel Hill, TN, sister, Tina Wilson, Chapel Hill, TN, beloved nephew and niece, Mitchell Wilson, LaVergne, TN and Molly Wilson, Bellevue, TN, two great nephews, Grayson and Emerson Ethridge, Bellevue, TN and five dear cousins, Richard Watson, Gainesville, FL, Jimmy (Colleen) Watson, Smyrna, TN, Pete Moss, Chapel Hill, TN, Betty Russell, Brooksville, FL, and Tom Moss, Nashville, TN. She was preceded in death by her father W.T. Wilson in 2015. And, last but not least, her memory will be treasured by her many friends for she never met a stranger.
