Carole Wilson

Carole A. Wilson of Bethel Park, formerly of Monongahela, passed away peacefully on Monday February 17, 2025.

Born in Johnstown Pa to parents James and Julia Coleman. Raised in Finleyville, Pa, Carole graduated from Monongahela High School class of 1957.  She was a lifelong member of First Baptist Church of Finleyville where she served different positions as her mother did before her. She also attended regularly at the New Jacobs Chapel Missionary Baptist Church in Clearmont Fl.  Carole married Richard Wilson Sr., on February 1, 1958.  As their family grew, both parents were involved with the many activities the children were involved in.  Time was of no concern and there was always enough energy to be sure the children had all they needed.  Carole worked for Collegeville Costume Co in Collegeville Pa as a seamstress.  She later worked for SKC in Ventia Pa, where she later retired.  In recent years, Carole enjoyed being a “snow bird” traveling and staying in Orlando Fl area with her daughter and son in law. Carole is survived by a brother; James “Mike” Coleman of Canonsburg, son Richard “Rick” of Monessen, daughter; Terry (Levester) Dority of Mascotte Fl, and son Evan of Bethel Park. Grandchildren Ronald Haynes Jr., darcy (Samuel) Arnold, and Larry (Krista) Haynes along with step grandchildren Eric (Brandi) Simmions, Tracie Dority, Byron Dority and 21 great grandchildren, along with numerous nieces, nephews and a host of lifelong loving friends.  Besides her parents, Carole was predeceased by her husband of 49 years, Richard Sr. sisters; Nannie Brown, Linda Walker, sister-in-law; Carol Coleman and brothers in law Franks Rhone, Willie Walker, Rev, James Brown and juvenile son Ronald Hugh Wilson.  A viewing will be held Saturday March 1st from 9-10am at First Baptist Church of Finleyville followed by services at 11am.  Interment will be held in Finleyville Cemetery.  The Wilson/ Coleman families would like to thank the Zander Funeral Home, Kegel Funeral Home, First Baptist Church, Cindy for Flowers and for all the many prayers for Carole and the Wilson/Coleman Families.
