Rose Marilyn

Wilson

Rose Marilyn Wilson, age 89, peacefully passed away in her home in Savannah on November 11, 2026, going home to be forever with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Rose was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Arthur Gene Wilson; her parents, Julian F. Hodges and Maggie Elizabeth Hodges Barnes; her sisters, Edwina Thomas and Linda Dianne Akins; her brother, Robert Julian Hodges; and her grandchildren, Melissa Boyett and Michael Boyett.

She is lovingly remembered by her three sons, Darrell (Susi) Wilson, Michael (Esther) Wilson, and David (Lisa) Wilson; her grandchildren, Jennifer (Rich) Adams, Jeshua (Carly) Wilson, Brianna (Shane) Wilson Selterre, Matthew Boyett, Daniel Wilson, Rebekah Wilson, Stacey (Harold) Flakes, and Miranda (Caleb) Cannon; her great-grandchildren, Victoria, Joee, Cassie, C.J., Trinity, Luciano, Daci, and Dathan; her great-great-grandchildren, Mason and Kai; and her cousin, Delores Johnson.

Rose was a longtime, faithful member of New Hope Fellowship Christian Church, formerly Grace Primitive Baptist Church. She will be remembered for the love and care she gave so freely to her family and friends. She shared that love in many ways, most often through her cooking—and most especially her famous chalupas and enchiladas. She touched many lives, and her kindness and warm, loving presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
