Sandusky

Virginia Frances Wilson, 88, of Sandusky, passed peacefully in her sleep Friday, February 13, 2026.

Virginia was born October 30, 1937, in Sandusky, to Sylvester and Emma (Ostheimer) Weyer. She graduated from St. Mary's High School in 1955. Virginia worked at Gray Drug in Sandusky for many years. She took great pride in one of her greatest accomplishments-raising her two sons, Robert and Tom.

Virginia had a strong faith and held God and her Catholic faith close to her heart. She was a member of St. Mary's Church and also attended Sts. Peter and Paul, and Holy Angels, so she could receive God's message as often as possible.

Above all, Virginia took great pride in her family. She devoted herself to her husband, Kowmes Wilson, for over 30 years, as well as to her sons, their wives, her three granddaughters, and two great-granddaughters. She will always be remembered for her love, strength, generosity, kindness, humor, and unwavering devotion. She also had a deep love for her church family.

Virginia was also known for sharing her beautiful crocheted kitchen towels. She took pride in making each towel by hand and found great joy in giving them to anyone she met. The only payment she would accept was a hug or a smile. In her spare time, she enjoyed playing Yahtzee, word games, puzzles, Sudoku, and video games.

Virginia is survived by her sister, Rose Ann Bower; her sons, Robert (Laura) Hofer and Tom (Tammy) Wilson; her granddaughters, Lauren (Nick) Haney, Jena Wilson, and Sydney Hofer; her great-granddaughters, Stella and Eva Haney; and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Kowmes Wilson; her sister, Marion Miller; her brother, James Weyer; and her brother-in-law, Charles Bower.

Cremation will take place, and her ashes will be placed alongside her loving husband's ashes privately, as she wished for no service. In accordance with Virginia's wishes, a Memorial Mass will be at St. Mary's Catholic Church, 429 Central Ave., Sandusky, Friday, March 13, 2026, at 10 a.m. A luncheon and gathering will follow Mass.
