MARQUETTE -- Mamie Elaine Wilson, of 429 West Park Street, Marquette, entered eternal life early Thursday morning, October 25, 2001 at Marquette General Hospital, where she had been a patient for two days. Mamie was 83 years "young".

Mamie was born August 30, 1918 in Marquette to Finnish immigrants Edward and Maria (Haapaa) Aho. Mamie grew up in Marquette, graduating from local schools, and also meeting her future husband, C. Woodrow Wilson. Mamie and Woodrow were married May 22, 1943 in Ann Arbor, where they lived a few years before returning to Marquette, where they enjoyed 57 happily married years. She was a member of Redeemer Lutheran Church.

Mamie was a determined, hard worker her entire life. She was always willing to help out and she was not afraid of difficult tasks. She started her work career as a young girl making neighborhood milk deliveries, and as a young wife she helped her husband plan and build their home on Park Street. She held various employment positions over the years: an office medical assistant for Dr. Hanelin, Deputy Clerk at the Marquette County Courthouse, processor at University Microfilms in Ann Arbor, and receiving clerk at Northern Michigan University Bookstore. Her most important position, though, was as a homemaker and raising three daughters. According to her daughters, she was the "best Mom ever".

Mamie was a "natural teacher" who loved to show and direct others on how to do things. She started this early at age six, when she taught her Finnish parents how to speak English, which she had learned herself only after starting public school. As a mother, she taught her three daughters the importance of a loving family and values of caring, patience, tolerance, and hard work. She instilled good manners, the importance of thinking of others before yourself, and the lesson that some good can come out of almost every circumstance. In her later years, after the death of her beloved husband, she taught the value of perseverance and continuing to find joy in life.

Mamie loved to read, bake, entertain friends in her home, and shop with her daughters and friends. She was the "queen of cards". She had a great love for all children and animals/ pets of all kinds. She also enjoyed music, and as a young woman had played violin in the Ann Arbor Civic Orchestra, and locally for the Tri-City Symphony Orchestra. Mamie always enjoyed the outdoors, whether for recreation or for work. Her last day at home was enjoyed outdoors raking leaves with a good friend. Mamie was very grateful to all her special friends and family who helped support her, especially in the last year and a half since her husband died.

Mamie was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Woodrow Wilson; and a sister, Helmi Harkala.

She is survived by her daughters, Susan K. Wilson of Port Townsend, Washington, Christine M. Wilson of Escanaba, and Paula L. Wilson of Appleton, Wisconsin; her sister, Aili M. Wainio and sister-in-law, Mary A. Chard, both of Marquette; and several nieces, nephews and many close, special friends.

Friends may call at the Fassbender Funeral Home on Sunday, October 28, beginning at 5:30pm. Funeral services will follow at 7:00pm Sunday evening in the funeral home with Rev.
