She was born June 23, 1920, on a small farm in Botts (now Berrydale) Florida to Laura Annie (Lollie) Calhoun McArthur and John Oscar McArthur. In 1942 while working as a cashier at the B&G Grocery in Pensacola she met and married Clyde C. (Bill) Wilson (Lt. Commander US Navy) and they spent 30 years serving our country. She was a true Navy wife and hero to all that knew and loved her.

She is survived by her son, Ron Wilson (Pat Ousley) of Blountville, TN; her daughter, Cathy Wilson Dean of Pensacola; three beloved grandchildren, Marcy Wilson Dhruv (Rohit), Wade Wison and Jared Wilson; and two special great-grandchildren, Elaina Rose Wilson and Reeva Kashmira Dhruv. Mary Alice leaves behind many nieces, nephews and friends that she loved dearly and that loved her dearly.

She was a lifelong active member of the Community of Christ (formerly RLDS) Church. For 97 years she was the rock of our family. A strong, independent and loving human being who spent her whole life caring for her family and friends. Always present for all of us, the matriarch and heart of our family. She especially wanted to thank her dear friends Bernice and Jim Warner, Dee Ingram, and Dr. Megumi Maguchi and Gracie. The family would also like to thank the aides
