Linda Sue Wilson

CARY - Ms. Linda Sue Wilson, daughter of the late Bessie Bell Carson and Jesse Lee Wilson was born June 26, 1951, in Iredell County, North Carolina. Linda departed this life on February 27th, 2025.

Linda moved with her family to New York when she was 5 and attended #2 School in Lynwood, Long Island.

She majored in English, Social Studies and Art.

After high school, Linda worked as a domestic worker and daycare provider. Children brought her joy as she was a caregiver to all her nieces and nephews, great-nieces and nephews. She had a babysitting business.

She was blessed with three children and took care of all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

"My reward is caring for my children and my mom till she passed."

She got baptized and gave her life to God after many trials and tribulations but endured with a joyous heart. Family, pastor, friends, and the church most supported her and encouraged her to live.

She leaves to mourn her memory one daughter, Dawn, and two sons, Eric and Keith. She was blessed with many grandchildren, including Brittany, Marquis, Breeanna, Eric Tyquel, Aniyah, Malakhi, Massiah, Isaiah, Egypt, Erin, Vittoria, Madison, and Ajani.

She is also survived by her beloved siblings: Maxine, Kenneth, Annie, and Stephen, along with many nieces and nephews, as well as great and great-great nieces and nephews.

Linda's family extended beyond blood relations. She had a cherished grandson-in-law, Darius, and two loving daughters-in-law, Tynequar and Christelle. Her dear friend Donita was always there for her, offering encouragement through the good and the bad.

She was also blessed with spiritual mothers and mentors, including Mrs. Beryl, Ms. Margaret Downs, and Johnnie Calhoun. A special friend, Pastor Reverend Belle, played an important role in her life. She was deeply connected to her faith community, with her sister in Christ Elder Jones, Rev. Nate, and Deacon Hughes standing by her side, treating her with respect and dignity.
