Obituary
Mrs. Levester Wilson, after 93 seasons of life, "moved Near the Cross" on Wednesday, August 20, 2014 from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Levester was born in Beggs, Oklahoma on June 22, 1921, the precious daughter of Leon Pickens and Mary Bell Chapel.
She attended Olympia School at an early age until the 8th grade. While still at an impressionable age, she came to know the Lord and accepted Him as her personal Savior.
As a young woman, she married Jewell White and from their union, two children were born; Hubert E. White and a stillborn daughter.
In 1945, she and her son moved to Arizona to live and then later returned to Okmulgee. In July of 1952, she met and later married Otis Wilson and they remained married until his death.
Mrs. Wilson was a longtime beautician, taking care of her clients in her shop at her home. She was also a Cook for Okmulgee Public Schools for 20 years at Historic Dunbar High School and later, Okmulgee Schools.
After her retirement, she was active in "two" Prayer Bands; one in Okmulgee and the other in Beggs. You could always find her going to Church or the Prayer Band activities and attending functions of her Great-granddaughter, "T", who she helped raise.. She loved the Lord and was a committed servant.
Mrs. Wilson was a faithful member of the St. Matthew Baptist Church until her health began to fail.
Those that remain to wait on the Lord; one son, Hubert E. White; her grandchildren who were more like her children; daughters, Pamela, of the home; Tonya; her sons, Steve White, Anthony White, Patrick White, Hubert White, Jr., and Stevie Mangum; a host of great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren; her dear cousins, Vera Biglow, Yvonne Montgomery and Dewyetta Rogers; a God-daughter, Lillian Walker, other relatives and a very special friend, Sarah Fultz.
The Hour of Reflection will commence on Thursday, August 28, 2014 at 11:00 A.M. in the most Holy sanctuary of the St. Matthew Baptist Church. Her Pastor, Reverend McKinley Rice, Sr., will Preside. Burial will follow in Our Lady of Grace Cemetery in Okmulgee. You may visit Mrs. Wilson, as she slumbers in sweet repose at the funeral home on Wednesday from 12 Noon until 6 PM.
