Please accept my condolences for the family of Marie A. Wilson.
Mrs. Wilson was one of my favorite teachers at Berlin School. I was fortunate to have her for my fourth grade teacher. I remember learning my multiplication and division facts which I remember to this day. I also remember trying to learn how to perfect my cursive handwriting as well as all the other interesting things that we learned that year. It was a pleasure to have had Mrs. Wilson, and she will and has been remembered by me over the years.
Blessings to her family.
