Mrs. Sarah King “Boots” Wilson, age 81, of Newark, DE, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family on Thursday, October 18, 2012.
A native Delawarean, Mrs. Wilson was born in Wilmington on November 1, 1930, daughter of the late J. Raymond King and Harriette Marsh King. She was an honors graduate of William Penn High School in New Castle and would go on to make her career as the office manager of the Concord Agency in Wilmington. With her beloved husband of 58 years, Jerry R. “Wilson” Wilson, she also assisted in the management of the family business, Wilson’s Termite and Painting.
Mrs. Wilson was an avid traveler throughout her life and delighted in taking interesting trips with her husband and their good friends. A talented and enthusiastic amateur bowler, she was an active member of local leagues for many years. She also enjoyed crabs feasts each summer.
