William Curtis Wilson

William Curtis Wilson, a longtime Yale resident, passed away following a lengthy heart surgery on Friday, Jan. 18, 2013, in the Hillcrest Heart Hospital, Tulsa, at the age of 66 years.

Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the Palmer Marler Funeral Home in Yale, and will be held at 10 a.m., Wednesday in the First Assembly of God, Yale, with Pastor Randell Newby officiating.  Burial will follow in the Lawson Cemetery, Yale.

The son of John Jessie Wilson and Geneva Alice (Thurman) Wilson, Curtis was born on July 2, 1946, in Yale.

Survivors include his wife Dorothy (McKnight)    Wilson of the home; mother, Geneva Wilson of Yale; two sisters, Barbara Pace and Betty McKnight of Stillwater; numerous nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends.
