Carole A. Wilson – Bethel Park
BETHEL PARK, FORMERLY OF MONONGAHELA
Carole A. Wilson of Bethel Park, formerly of Monongahela, passed away peacefully on Monday, Feb. 17, 2025. She was born in Johnstown, Pa., to parents James and Julia Coleman. Raised in Finleyville, Pa., Carole graduated from Monongahela High School, Class of 1957. She was a lifelong member of First Baptist Church of Finleyville, where she served different positions as her mother did before her. She also attended regularly at New Jacobs Chapel Missionary Baptist Church in Clermont, Fla. Carole married Richard Wilson Sr. on Feb. 1, 1958. As their family grew, both parents were involved with the many activities the children were involved in. Time was of no concern and there was always enough energy to be sure the children had all they needed. Carole worked for Collegeville Costume Co. in Collegeville, Pa., as a seamstress. She later worked for SKC in Ventia, Pa., where she later retired.
