Genevieve (Gene) A. Wilson, age 90 of Neillsville, passed away on Wednesday, July 12, 2023 in Neillsville. She was born on August 12, 1932 in Lithuania, the daughter of Alfonso and Josephine Petrulis. She and her family returned to the USA when she was just an infant.
In 1963 she married the love of her life, Lloyd P. Wilson, in Chicago, IL. They worked for the same company, Deluxe Check Printers, for over 30 years in Chicago, Milwaukee, and Miami. They retired in the mid 80’s and moved to Rhinelander, WI. They eventually relocated to Neillsville, WI and built their dream home next to their daughter and son-in-law. They were married 49 wonderful years before Lloyd passed away in 2012.
Gene was a kindhearted and generous person who had a spunky personality. She was quite witty and kept you on your toes. She also enjoyed reading, bowling, and even won a Florida State bowling championship.
Her family’s happiness and wellbeing were the focus of her life. She is survived by her daughter, Rose (John) Bartell; grandson, Jacob (Anika) Bartell and their children: Molly and Madison; granddaughter, Rebecca (Ryan) Cody, and their children: Maxon and Mackenzie.
She was proceeded in death by her parents and her loving husband, Lloyd.
She will be dearly missed by all of her family and friends.
A special thanks to all the staff and residents at the Neillsville Retirement Community for their great care and support.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
