MY #1 SHERO and A TRUE WOMAN of GOD!!!
My Mom ~ Sis Jessie K Wilson is a Phenomenal Woman! Born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas she received her Bachelor's Degree from Philander-Smith. Upon graduation she moved to Berkeley California and became a member of Phillips Temple CME Church (still a member)where she later met & Married My Dad in 1952.
Later when My Dad became too ill to work the Mother of 7 became the First African-American Woman Deputy of the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department.
In 1972, after My Father's Death she never remarried but continued to raise us with the same Morals, Values & Ethics that had already been instilled.
Sis Wilson became the First Female Chairperson of the Steward Board of Phillips Temple and held that office for 11years.
Upon her retirement, she became a Foster Parent for Many Children, and later became the First African-American Woman to Serve two Consecutive terms on the Grand Jury.
At 86, she is still surrounded by Children and has recently become a Great-Great Grandmother.
Sis JK enjoys Church (still a Steward & Missionary) Reading, Gardening, Hot Tea, Ice Cream, Jewelry and More Jewelry!!!
Though My Mom doesn't sew much anymore she is a Great Seamstress and made the African outfit in this pic and her wedding Gown , among many Of Our Fancy Church, Prom & Wedding Gowns!
Hats Off to My Mom...To Know Her Is to LOve Her... She's the GRrrrrreatest and I Thank GOD for Her!!!
