Mary Wilson

Feb 21, 1954 - Feb 18, 2022

Sandusky

God gained one of his special servants Saturday, Feb. 18, 2023, as Mrs. Mary Ann Wilson (Nuby), 68, of Sandusky, passed away after a three-year battle with cancer.

Mary was born Feb. 21, 1954, in Sandusky, to the late Thirkee Barron Sr. and Anna Mae Barron.

Mary was a faithful member of Porters Memorial C.M.E. Church and 1972 graduate of Sandusky High School. After graduating, Mary married her high school sweetheart, Roy Wilson Jr., in 1976. From this union, Mary and Roy had three children, Bret Wilson, Jevin Wilson, and Sharel Wilson. During this time of raising her family, Mary started her career at what was then called Providence Hospital as a housekeeper. Then, as Providence combined with Firelands Community Hospital, Mary's true calling started as she became a Godsend to her Stein Hospice family and patients. Mary provided a clean environment, encouraging words, and kindness to families during their time of grief. Her ability to nurture and go above and beyond for so many families, all while holding the most beautiful smile, never went unnoticed with 36 years of service.

As life went on, the unexpected passing of her husband in 1998, and son, Jevin Wilson, in 1999, made Mary's faith in God stronger. In return, in 2002, God provided her a new blessing by the name of Orlando Nuby, who cared and nurtured her through sickness and in health. Her biggest blessing yet arrived in 2007 in her only grandchild, Sianna Wilson, with whom she loved baking, shopping, and watching movies.

Mary is survived by her daughter, Sharel Wilson; husband, Orlando Nuby; granddaughter, Sianna Wilson; sister, Yvette (Luther) Henson of Columbus; brothers, Steve (Shasta) Brown of Sandusky and Thirkee (Barb) Barron Jr. of Columbus; sisters-in-law, Erma (Elder) Stowers, Rose Lewis, and Sonya Nuby, all of Sandusky, and Linda Powell of Coldwater, Mississippi; brothers-in-law, Marty Clay Wilson, Mike Nuby, and Mark Nuby; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

In addition to her parents, Mary was preceded in death by her husband, Roy Wilson Jr.; sons, Jevin Wilson, and Brett Wilson in infancy; sisters, Laverne Barron and Melissa Norris; brother, William "Speedy" Nuby; niece, Vanessa Barron; mothers-in-law, Anna B. Wilson and Hattie Nuby; and fathers-in-law, Roy Wilson Sr. and Horrace Nuby.

Visitation will be 10 a.m. Monday, Feb. 27, 2023, until the time of Mary's funeral at 12 p.m. at Monday, Feb. 27, 2023, at Porters Memorial C.M.E. Church, 1722 Third St., Sandusky. Burial will follow at Oakland Cemetery.
