Nancy A. Wilson, 87, of Sharpsville, formerly of the Hazelwood area of Pittsburgh and Camp Hill, PA passed away Monday morning, June 21, 2021, in Shenango on the Green, New Wilmington, PA.

Mrs. Wilson was born March 16, 1934, in Pittsburgh, a daughter of the late John and Frances (Bulger) Flanagan.  She was a 1952 graduate of Elizabeth Seton High School, Pittsburgh.

Nancy was employed as a sales clerk for more than ten years at the former Kaufmann's Department Store, Hermitage, and the former Sears Department Store in Camp Hill, PA for 20 years. For several years she was the Matron at the Mercer County Jail, where her husband was the Warden.

A devout Catholic, Nancy was a member of the Church of the Good Shepherd, West Middlesex. She was formerly an active member of St. Joseph's Church, Sharon, where she was a founding member of the Widow's Group.  She was also a volunteer for the church food pantry and Meals on Wheels.

Nancy's favorite place in this world was wherever her family gathered. Whether it was a holiday celebration, the annual family beach vacation, or a simple Sunday dinner at home, her favorite moments were the ones she shared with all of them.

Nancy had the ability to always know what someone needed and just what to say. Her family was everything to her, as she was everything to them. She was the epitome of grace and perseverance and her example will be her lasting gift to her family.

She is survived by a daughter, Carol A. Gilliland and her husband David, West Middlesex; two sons, Harry E. Wilson II and his wife Mary, Seven Fields, PA, and John C. Wilson and his wife Dana, Tallahassee, FL; a sister, Agnes Vavro, Pittsburgh; and one brother, Thomas Flanagan and his wife Charlotte, Eighty Four, PA.  She also leaves behind eight grandchildren: Edward "Ted" Gilliland, John Gilliland, Allison (Jared) Stutzman, Molly (Evan) Gombos, Tim Wilson, Patrick Wilson, Evan (Nicole) Wilson, and Lauren (Nate) Jones; and five great granddaughters.

In addition to her parents, Nancy was preceded in death by her husband, Harry Edward Wilson, whom she married November 24, 1955, on August 23, 1993.
