Helen Pryor Wilson, 73, passed away peacefully on Monday, May 30, 2016, at Atlantic Shores Rehab & Health Center in Millsboro, Del. She was the daughter of the late William and AnnaBelle Brittingham Pryor of Salisbury, Md.
While she called Salisbury home, Wilson spent 38 years in central Florida, where she retired as city clerk of Winter Garden. She graduated from Wicomico High School in Salisbury in 1958 and attended Salisbury University. Shortly thereafter, she married William W. Catron III, and had a son, Richard William Catron Sr.
In 1999, Wilson married Barkley Wilson, and from there on called Georgetown, Del., home, where she could be found helping Barkley in the garden or cooking up the bounty of their work together to share with family and friends.
Her passions were her family, traveling and singing in her church. As a devoted woman of faith, Wilson was committed to ministering to her friends in the nursing home where she spent 11 years and will be sorely missed.
In addition to her parents, Wilson was preceded in death by her sister Bonnie Pryor Wilson. She is survived by her loving husband, Barkley Wilson; her son, Richard Catron of Cincinnati, Ohio; her stepdaughter, Lisa Wilson Dorey of Millsboro; her devoted sister Patricia Pryor Kondziola of Parsonsburg, Md.; her brother, Randall L. Pryor of Easton, Md.; five grandchildren, three great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, step-grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren.
Services were scheduled for June 2, 2016, at Calvary Baptist Church in Georgetown, Del., with interment at Harbeson Cemetery. Flowers are welcomed, or memorial contributions can be made to Calvary Baptist Church; 22860 Dupont Blvd.; Georgetown, DE 19947. Condolences may be sent online at www.watsonfh.com.
