By -
He married Sally Sellers on January 13, 1968, and together they raised 4 children. Tom was a member of the Holy Guardian Angels Catholic Church in Cedar Grove. While living in New Trenton, Tom was one of the co-founders of the New Trenton Volunteer Fire Department. In 1970 and 1971, he spent many hours at his own garage (Stateline Garage in Harrison, OH) building their first fire equipment with a small crew of dedicated men. He was very proud of their accomplishments. He spent several years thereafter as the Fire Chief. On Saturday, August 21, 2021, at the age of 81, Tom passed away peacefully at home with his loved ones by his side.
Those surviving who will cherish Tom’s memory include his wife of over 53 years, Sally Wilson of Brookville; two daughters, Cynthia (Daryl) Caudill of Cedar Grove, and Donna (Chris) Black of Delhi; six grandchildren, Lester Wilson, Meagan Wilson, Derrick Caudill, Heather Caudill, Kyler Black, and Garett Black; and a special nephew, Alfred Sellers of Osgood. Besides both of his parents, he was also preceded in death by his stepfather; one brother, Robert Wilson; one sister, Juanita Whiteman; a brother-in-law, Jerry Whiteman; and two sons, Lester and Robert Wilson.
To honor the wishes of Tom, cremation was chosen and there will be no public services held at the funeral home. Memorial contributions in memory of Thomas Wilson can be directed to Margaret Mary Hospice, 108 North Elm Street, Batesville, IN 47006.
