Mable Wasch Wilson Obituary (1913 - 2012)

Mable passed away Thursday, August 23rd at Heritage Springs assisted living facility in Las Vegas, NV from natural causes. That day was her 78th wedding anniversary. She was married to Charles W. Wilson, former superintendent of the Salt Lake City Water Department, and was a devoted wife to him for 62 years. As the daughter of a railroad engineer, she spent some of her early life in various railroad towns in Nevada. When the family finally settled, Salt Lake City became her home for more than 90 years. Her life focused on her family and her two children, Richard C. Wilson of Las Vegas, NV and Annette W. Blouin (deceased). She has 4 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. Her “people skills” were her most obvious trait and she made friends wherever she went. As a product of the Depression, she had a knack for making the most of whatever situation she found herself in and helping those around her do the same. She was half of one of the most loving partnerships ever and Charlie’s “Desert Flower” will be missed and remembered by all who knew her. Funeral services will be held at the First Presbyterian Church located at 400 E. South Temple at 11 a.m., Friday, August 31, 2012. A viewing for family and friends will be Thursday evening from 6-8 p.m. at Jenkins-Soffe Mortuary located at 4760 S. State Street. Interment: Salt Lake City Cemetery.
