Charlotte Mae Wilson Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Death has caught us by surprise. Today, we must pause for a moment to celebrate, remember, and mourn the passing of our “Dearly Beloved”. Although the will to survive is greater than the will to die, there is no sorrow and no more pain. Charlotte Mae Wilson, the youngest child of the late Weldon and Adeline Rice was born November 8, 1949, in Baltimore, Maryland. She departed this life May 30, 2022. She received her education in Baltimore and graduated from Southern High School. Charlotte married the late David Wilson and from their union two beautiful children, David (Skinner-Man) and Niya Wilson were born. They were her pride and joy and her bond with them was impeccable! Although there were lots of fussing and arguments, there was laughter afterwards. She did not play about her home and the neatness thereof; everything was neat and in place. If anything was not, trust and believe you heard about it. Charlotte was gainfully employed. Two of her most prestigious positions were with the Baltimore City Police Department where she was employed for ten years, and the Social Security Administration for thirty plus years. Charlotte served as a Benefit Authorizer until she retired in 2010. She took her job seriously and had an in-depth knowledge of the disability programmatic system and provided quality service to numerous beneficiaries and often trained her peers because of her level of expertise. Charlotte was affectionately known as “Mama” in the neighborhood as she was a mother to many. She loved cooking her holiday meals, watching football, basketball (especially the playoffs), and tennis; Serena Williams was her all-time favorite. Charlotte did not play about her hair, clothes, and “cherry jubilee” lipstick. She was our “Fashionista”!!! Charlotte’s “Treasured Joy” was great-grandson whom she affectionately called “Jaycie-Ray”. Their bond was epic and funny. They fussed and laughed too; it was just like fussing with her children; so hilarious. When she would see Jace wearing his Michael Jordan shoes, she would say “Awe shucks, look at Jaycie-Ray with his Michael Jordans on”. Our family has precious, treasured, and priceless memories of our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, Sister, Auntie, and friend. She will forever live in our hearts. Charlotte leaves to mourn her life legacy of strength and love; children, Niya and David Wilson, granddaughters, Jakiara Henry and De’Asia Wilson, great-grandson, Jace Alston, three sisters, Rebecca DeFord, Betty Willis, and Ellen Lewis (Stephen), siblings who preceded her in death, James Rice and Jurena Alexis, and a host of nephews, nieces, relatives, and friends.
