A Celebration of Life Service was held at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 3, 2023, in Galloway Park in West Plains, Mo., for Charlotte Marie Wilson, 33, of West Plains, Mo., formerly of Winona, who died on Saturday, May 20, in an automobile accident in West Plains, Mo. Bubbles were blown in her memory. A funeral service will be held at a later date at Oliver Funeral Home in Winona. Burial will follow next to her late son, Andrew, in the Garden of Memory Cemetery.
Charlotte was born on April 8, 1990, in Grenada, the daughter of Christopher Wilson and Cheryl Bell. She attended Winona Public Schools from kindergarten until her final year, graduating with the Class of 2008. She attended Holmes Community College and studied many areas including medical coding.
Charlotte was in the process of obtaining a physical therapy assistant license and was working at Ozark Medical Center. She was an avid reader and loved to collect books and write her favorite quotes in a journal. One of her greatest joys was being a mother to her children.
Charlotte had a very infectious smile and an attitude that was genuinely her own. She was a kind, caring, fiercely loyal and protective friend. She enjoyed watching old movies with her friends, expressing herself through tattoos and music, and working to take care of others.
Her oldest son, Andrew Taylor Tharp, preceded Charlotte in death.
Survivors include, her parents, Mark and Cheryl Bell of West Plains, Mo. (formerly of Winona) and Christopher and Shaunta Wilson of Grenada; her children, Tiffany Lawrence, 14, and Zane Lawrence, 9; two younger brothers, CJ Wilson and Devon (Laney) Wilson; grandparents, Homer Blakely, Sharon and Mike Shirley, Jimmy and Alice (Cookie) Vance and her beloved grandmother, Alice Blakely of Winona as well as a multitude of friends and loved ones who will miss her greatly.
Oliver Funeral Home in Winona is in charge of arrangements.
